Warning The Sea Kittens are Evolving....

A walking catfish has been spotted in the Thames by an angler.
The air-breathing fish, which can survive out of water for 'extended periods' as it searches for water, was found in the Thames Estuary at Woolwich by angler Birol Koca.
Mr Koca immediately phoned the Environment Agency who sent an officer to the scene to confirm the find.



The walking catfish, or Clarias batrachus, is a species of freshwater airbreathing catfish found primarily in Southeast Asia.
The fish, which could be a 'significant risk' to the environment, used its pectoral fins to 'wiggle' on land as it searches out a new home.

Interesting fish. Ugly bugger though. Seems to be a suggestion that it was already dead in the article.

Hopefully their taste has also evolved because I'm hungry.

That's nothing, you should see the size of the "SeaCat" in Dun Laoghaire.

There is no seacat in Dun Laoghaire, only a HSS. There's one in Roslare though

Fish are friends; NOT food.
