A rogue teddy bear is under suspicion of mass murder - of 2,500 fish.
State officials in Milford, New Hampshire, claim the cuddly toy fell into a pool at a Fish and Game Department hatchery earlier this month and clogged a drain.
The blockage is reported to have stopped the flow of oxygen into the pool and suffocated the fish.
Hatcheries supervisor Robert Fawcett said the bear is believed to be the first stuffed toy to cause fatalities at the US facility.
"We've had pipes get clogged, but it's usually with more naturally occurring things like a frog or even a dead muskrat," he said.
"This one turned out to be a teddy bear and we don't know how it got there."
He said it is not known who dropped the bear, but urged anyone whose bear ends up in a hatchery pool to find a worker to remove it.
"They might save your teddy bear, and keep it from becoming a killer," he said.
