Humboldt Park Lagoon have joined the display of invasive species
at Chicago&rsquo;s Shedd Aquarium.</p><p>The carp are huge, old
and beady-eyed to boot. So how did they show up in an enclosed
lagoon in the middle of Chicago?</p><p>&ldquo;Nobody can say for
sure,&rdquo; said John Rogner of the Illinois Department of
Natural Resources. Fishermen and boats could have accidentally
brought carp into the lagoon by introducing even small amounts
of organic matter from another waterway.<iframe frameborder="no"
