Hepsetus odoe
''Hepsetus odoe'' is a predatory freshwater fish belonging to the family Hepsetidae. It is an elongated fish with a pike-like body. This species can reach up to about in length. It was formerly believed to the only species in the genus and widespread in sub-Saharan Africa, but studies in 2011-2013 have found that there are several species, and the true ''H. odoe'' is restricted to West and Central Africa from the Sassandra River, Ivory Coast, to the Kienké River, Cameroon (species elsewhere are now recognized as separate; ''H. cuvieri'', ''H. kingsleyae'', ''H. lineata'' and ''H. occidentalis'').〔Decru, E., Vreven, E. & Snoeks, J.

The species prefers quiet and deep water, and may only live about five years. They spawn in the summer, and are oviparous, and lay their eggs in a nest of floating foam, which they then guard. Fry and juveniles inhabit well-vegetated marginal habitats.
The Kafue pike is a gamefish. It also, on occasion, is found as an aquarium fish, though its large size and piscivorous nature make it unsuitable for most aquarists.〔Nelson, Joseph S. (2006). ''Fishes of the World''. John Wiley & Sons, Inc. ISBN 0-471-25031-7〕
