Catfish

This week we are talking about a species of fish that may be familiar to most of you. With cat-like whiskers, they come in many forms and are kind of strange looking. From the rivers of America, to ponds in Africa, and the streams of Asia, these fish can be found in most of the world’s bodies of water. So get your boats ready  because we are going to be talking about catfish.

“Catfish are suction feeders, so they mostly suck in prey and swallow it whole.”
