As one of the greatest animal planet shows of all time, Monsters in the River has always maintained its super high quality and popularity, and wilderness angler Jeremy Wade has trekked half the world to fight trolls in rivers and oceans everywhere. Which of these fishes did you remember the most?
Freshwater beast , the flat-mouthed catfish
This 250-pound striped short flat catfish can only be described by Jeremy Wade as "absolutely wonderful."
Catfish are simply the king of fresh water
Most of these large creatures are distributed in the Amazon river and orinoco river basin in South America, generally up to 270 cm long, and the currently known world record for this fish can reach up to 3.6 meters and weigh 200 kg, making it one of the largest freshwater fish in the world and one of the largest catfish in the world.
Deep-water fish - tarpon
The roughly 150-pound tarpon was able to "catapult" from the water and shoot people off the boat, hitting this guy swimming at high speeds even worse than being hit by a car.
The adult tarpon can reach 2.4 meters or more, and its snow-white body does not look as hideous as other trolls. Therefore, it has become a precious prey in the eyes of extreme fishing enthusiasts.
Giant tigerfish
This guy is very aptly named giant tigerfish, which is a close relative of piranhas. Jeremy Wade holds the giant 5-foot (1.52 m) tiger fish he caught while exploring the Congo River in Africa to track down schools of fish.
It has to be said that this guy doesn't even look like a modern freshwater fish, like a simple and crude enlargement of the piranha to an astonishing size — Jeremy Wade is holding this day weighing ninety kilograms, one meter and five long, and a mouth of terrifying sharp teeth makes it the most efficient killing machine.
Even jeremy, who has been through a lot of battles, has a twelve-point spirit, and if she is not careful, she may be bitten off the palm of her hand.
Blood-sucking moray eels
And these blood-sucking moray eels look very evil and terrifying.
Audacious Jeremy even experienced the feeling of being bitten, which he described as a "very strange feeling."
flatfish
The 120-pound halibut has two eyes on one side of its face.
Saber-toothed tiger in the water - water wolf fat carp
This mackerel-like water wolftooth fish with some very large teeth is a small saber-toothed tiger with two exaggerated tusks in its lower jaw that can pass through the nostrils (sword sheath), and is known as the "saber-toothed tiger" in the water.
Hideous in appearance, green-faced fangs, resembling the vampire in European legends, foreign countries call it "vampire fish", in fact, it does not suck blood. At the same time, although its teeth are large, because they do not match the size of the mouth, it tends to use its teeth to nail through smaller prey, rather than being able to bite large prey like the goby.
It is also a catfish
This catfish has a lot of very small teeth, dense phobia gospel.
The catfish from the Chernobyl cooling tank has "16 times the usual radiation level" in its body.
Heavily armored warrior - Arapaima
Some of the trolls that Jeremy dealt with were full of attack power, such as the giant water goby with a large mouth of blood, while the other part armed themselves into mobile "tanks", such as the 250-pound arapaima.
The Arapaima is covered with incredibly hard scales, and even the ferocious piranha can't hurt half a point. Rampage through the river, the tail sweep can shoot an adult into a serious injury, eat the piranha bite by bite, directly swallow raw, the strong tail thrust can make it jump out of the water to prey on birds.
Arapaima bronze head
The head is flattened on the side, there is no resistance when swimming, the mouth becomes huge when the mouth is opened, the gills cooperate with the water flow of the mouth to directly suck the prey in, and the backwards gushing air current is like the blazing flame at the tail of a heavy howitzer, quickly breaking through the water flow and creating a bubble, the whole underwater heavy weapon.
Cutter - River Tiger
The golden river goby that Jeremy holds – a little pretty, but still a river monster that can be discreetly amputated.
The scientific name of the river tiger is the big jaw small fat carp, for the fat carp family - small fat carp fish, in the small fat carp genus it is a giant, the upper and lower jaws of the golden river tiger look more like a pair of powerful pliers, the bite force is amazing, a bite down has a rather terrible destructive power, can bite off human fingers, can also bite the hunted fish in half, is a notorious cutter.
Alligator eel
The nearly 7-foot-long prehistoric alligator eel is a prehistoric troll like the arapaima.
Tank duck-billed catfish
The 5-foot-7-inch, 161-pound tank platypus took Jeremy weeks to find.
Strangely shaped sawfish
This guy is really creepy, with about 7 feet of sawfish with 40 teeth! The peculiar mouth structure makes it the weirdest river troll.
