Smallmouth Bass

Yes, smallmouth bass have small mouths! This is in comparison to largemouth bass, which have disproportionately big mouths that appear to gape.

Bass eat a combination of insects, fish, and other small creatures. They are carnivores.

Far from being endangered, åthis species has caused problems in ecosystems outside of its native habitats. This happens when humans introduce them to non-native regions either deliberately or by accident.

Unlike the males of the vast majority of species in the animal kingdom, male smallmouth bass take an active role in the protection of nests and eggs.
