THE CATFISH

There are many types of Catfish. Catfish have feelers on its jaws that look like cats whiskers. They have sharp spines on the fin and some are covered with bony plates.

The largest catfish weighs 290 kilograms and is 4 metres long.

Catfish live in shallow salt or fresh water near the bottom.
