Catfish: the rivers' giant

- European catfish, the continent’s largest freshwater fish measuring up to 2.5 meters, are quickly evolving as they colonize new rivers. They are currently displaying completely new behavior, colors, or sizes. In the Tarn River, they have learned to launch themselves out of the water, clench a pigeon in their jaws, writhe back into the water and proceed to dine.
In the murky waters of the Rhone estuary, they have grown to extraordinarily large sizes, and some have become albinos.
In the Saone River, some feed on ducks, and the largest individuals are attempting (without success so far) to catch swans.
As soon as they reach a length of about one meter, they rule over the pike, their closest competitor and become the apex-predators of freshwater waterways; since they left the Danube River in Eastern Europe in the late 60s, they have learned how to adapt to available resources: they forage for prey at, or beyond, the boundaries of their new ecosystem.
Their reign over our rivers is now unchallenged, hence their immense proportions and gargantuan appetite.
French scientists and fishermen decipher the secrets of these legendary fish as they colonize the "West".
Not only do they reveal their never-before-seen behavior topside and underwater from Eastern to Western Europe - in 6 different environments from the Danube to the Garonne Rivers, but also the evolution of their diet.

“Every day we go out fishing we wish we will catch one of those rare albino catfish…. And today, thanks to the powers of scripted events, we will find one!”
They painted one .haha
In europe they came in through canals between big rivers .
And in Spain where record fish are caught the ebro river .a german angler introduced in the 70,s illegally several pares of catfish ,Zander, and carp in the ebro .
Guys, get a fin punch. For the love of the catfish, you do NOT need to clumsily snip the fin with scissors like some sort of torture. People really are thoughtless.
Is grabbing a bird REALLY hunting on land if it's at the waters edge? Call me when it gets into someone's backyard and eats their poodle.
every time that happens i need to go and buy a new poodel for the kids...
In south Florida we have ' walking catfish '.
What in the world is walking fish?🤣
Launching a few feet out the water is not "hunting on land."
sure it is
When the prey is on land, it’s hunting in land.
They are big enough to digest a human, let alone a bird. Strange adaptive behavior. May b associated w/ecological imbalance.
Well they eat anything, including waste.
Euh it's an invasive species .
Lucky guy, gets to record the biggest catfish AND an albino
Wooow.....😱😱😱
I honestly never thought i see the day i be jealous of a bunch of snail eaters/french but i have to admit they have some pretty cool fish kinda wish we had catfish that big in Sweden

NEVER liked catfish they are scary creepy animals and I don't even like the way they taste, I think they have a metallic taste.
When we fished for trout and bass always hated catching the scary catfish!
Ever catch a pike? Or a Muskie? Or a gar? How about a sturgeon?
they are my all time favourite fish 😄
just because of the same reasons.
