The walking catfish is a freshwater fish that can crawl across wet land to reach new water. It lives in Southeast Asia and has also been introduced to places such as Florida. Its spiny defence is the reason it needs careful handling.1

It must be handled carefully when fished because of its embedded sting or thorn-like spines. It is also harmful as an invasive species, because it eats the food of native fish, preys on their young and can destroy fish farms.1

Tge fa el, cura ch'el ha tema?

It has a sting or thorn-like spine hidden behind its fins, which it uses to defend itself.1

bun da savair

Fatgs

It can survive 18 hours out of water.1

It moves over land with snake-like wiggles, using its pectoral fins to stay upright.1

In Florida, fish farmers have had to put up fences to protect their ponds from them.1

It often rises to the surface to gulp air, because it breathes air as well as using water.1

Walking catfish were imported to Florida in the early 1960s for aquaculture, and escapes led to wild populations.1

In Indonesia it is known as lele and is the main ingredient in dishes such as pecel lele.1

Destructur da mits

Mit: The walking catfish truly walks on land like a four-legged or two-legged animal.

Vardad: It does not walk in that way. It uses its pectoral fins to stay upright while it wiggles its body in snake-like movements.1
