The Congo's freshwater elephant fish, such as the one seen above, use their long snouts to sift through river bottom sediments for food--another example of the Congo as a hotbed of evolution.
The Goliath tiger fish, said to grow up to 150 pounds (68 kilograms), may be able to overcome barriers in the tumultuous and turbid Congo River that smaller fish cannot.

“No noodling for that one.”
That’s for dang sure. You know what a cat that size will do to a mans arm? With that puppy you would draw back a nub. It would kinda be like those old boys who go into a bramble after a wild boar hog with a hunting knife. They may be more of a sportsman than me, but I feel like I have more common sense than they do.

WTF is that??? More importantly, where was that pulled from in Texas so I can avoid that lake/river ... that’s practically a freshwater bony shark.
