As the saying goes, "toads want to eat swan meat", which is to warn those aquatic animals not to move their minds to prey on birds. (That's what you mean, right?) ）
However, in this wonderful world, there are some unbelieving animals that like to challenge the limits of predation. Today, I will introduce you to such a big fish who does not easily bend to the rules, challenges the prey on pigeons and has a high success rate - the European catfish!

European catfish can grow to a huge size, the picture above 280 pounds (about 127 kilograms) of big guys, really enough for ordinary people to eat for a year!
The European catfish is not only huge, but also very intelligent! They adapt to a variety of environments through their advantages. In Albi, France, biologists have observed catfish preying on pigeons!
While the pigeons were still enjoying their lives at the water's edge, a catfish was sneaking up on them like a ghost.
Using its flattened body and long tail like a snake, the Catfish silently approached the pigeons. After locking in the target, rely on your huge strength, quickly jump up and pounce on the pigeons!
Is the ultimate weapon of the Catfish its gigantic mouth, "Furious Universe", their motto?
Although there are no extra-long sharp teeth similar to vampire fish, the European catfish makes up for it in numbers, with hundreds of fine needle-like teeth that ensure that prey swallowed into the mouth will not easily slip away.
The dominant physiological structure makes the european catfish break the rules and the success rate of preying on pigeons has reached 30%!
As a "furious" fish warrior, the catfish's non-picky personality is also an important reason why they will prey on pigeons. In addition to preying on small fish and shrimp like ordinary fish, European catfish is also not rejected for ducks or other water birds, even for difficult turtles!
"Spread the table into the air" - what a big fish for a foodie!
