'Freshwater Killer Whale' Catfish Squirm Onto Land to Grab Pigeons

December 07, 2012
The invasive European catfish has learned to grab tasty pigeons from the
shore, stranding themselves on the beach for precious seconds as they nab
their prey, the scientific journal PLoS ONE reported on December 5.
On a small gravel island in the middle of the River Tarn winding through the
city of Albi, in southwestern France, pigeons gather to clean and bathe, as
Discover magazine described the scene. And one group of European catfish,
the continent’s largest freshwater fish at up to 1.5 meters long, have
learned to launch themselves out of the water, clench a pigeon in their jaws
, writhe back into the water and proceed to dine.
All this was discovered by Julien Cucherousset, a researcher from Paul
Sabatier University in Toulouse, after local fishermen told him about the
phenomenon, Discover reported. He proceeded to film 54 attacks during summer
2011, 28 percent of which succeeded, and dubbed them “freshwater killer
whales.”
