Volunteers at a Japanese garden in B.C. are discovering the remains of Koi fish taken from their pond but have yet to track down the culprit.
The investigation into whatβs been killing the Koi for over three weeks has flooded the imaginations of volunteers at the Ikeda Japanese Garden in Penticton.
βThe first one we found, we thought it was an eagle because it had what looked like beak marks,β said volunteer Randy Clements.
βThe other ideasβ¦ a blue heron, a raccoon or something else feeding on the Koi fish β some more than a decade old .β
As Sydney Morton reports, so far itβs been a mystery, but after a fresh snowfall, they are one step closer to getting this mystery solved.

Poor fish.
Put a fence around the koi pond.
First comment.
This is so ridiculous that there's a murder case of 5 FRICKING KOI FISH
This is global news?
If this was CBC…I might understand this as a major news story.
Predators are a natural and unavoidable part of the ecosystem and you are adding to the food chain by providing a resource (prey). What's the problem?
This is the most world of darkness coded thing I've seen in a minute
I am at the beginning of my "investment journey", planning to put 385K into dividend stocks so that I will be making up to 30% annually in dividend returns. any good stock recommendation on great performing stocks or Crypto will be appreciated…
Nevermind what's been eating the Koi. I want to know why a Koi pond is this near to a natural waterway?

My stepdad had a koi pond in his backyard which had a heron eating them. We had to put up steel mesh above the water
Easy picks otter loves orange suchi have a heart for little beings its ok not grizπ
U got me. It was me. :Δ
racoon or a cat. what a groundbreaking story.
Just put a camera
This is the same thing that happen in Vancouver at the Chinese garden.
Only itβs not beside a river
How was an otter not the first suspect and how has to taken this long for this to occur?
Bigfoot
Maybe itβs a cat?
Could also be a marten
Children going missing everyday and this is what the news reports.
Squirrels will go for koi but not that often. I lost my largest and most beautiful one to an appliance repairman and his cooler.
Bigfoot confirmed.
Blurred out pictures of the dead fish. How fragile to they think their viewer are?
Wow, the mystery of the koi killer, sounds like the start of a Netflix series. But calling it "graphic" and blurring the fish isβ¦ silly. I get wanting to be sensitive, but itβs not exactly a horror scene.
Who cares..π π π π
I grew up in the Penticton area, but have lived in Japan for almost 20 years so I'm "in the know" about the Okanagan area and Japanese things. Yup, in the know!
Keep tje otters forget the gold fish
The usual suspects.
my godfather had Koi in his back yard in toronto and he tried everything to stop racoons or other things from getting at them. the only solution that finally worked was he built the pond bigger and added a cave for them with a stone slab so they had something to hide in at night. it was even cornered. i should send them a note or if someone knows how to reach them should tell them thats the only real solution sound stuff stops working after a while

camera?
Are we just reporting on anything now?
Otter has a right to defend itself and eat all it wants, please keep sending aid to the otter. Munch Munch
I am going to get out my fly-fishing rod now and see if i can catch me some Koi for my Otter. Build the wall around wokeism.
Its clearly a otter
Just add trout for it to eat if there's trout there he won't want a koi he's going to eat the trout instead
Blurring fish wounds is the perfect example of how pathetic and wimpy the young generations have become.
Did he just dump the dead koi am the other side of the fence? That's like bait!? π€¦ββοΈ Good grief.
River Otter would have been my guess – had the same problem in Vancouver.
