		I saw this picture already, it is real crazy. Whats even weirder, is that species of catfish normally gets real big; up to 10 feet long and up to 650 pounds. Can you imagine a 10 ft catfish? Damn think could swallow me whole.

		Isn't it a dolphin or something?!

		Nope, its a Mekong Giant Catfish. The Giant Catfish is found in Asia. This particular species is found in the the Mekong River Basin in Thailand and Cambodia. Though 646 lbs sounds huge, it's not rare for these to exceed 650 lbs. However, they are an endangered species. Ones this size are getting harder to find.

		Those aren't that rare. I caught one in Animal Crossing...but then Daisy "traded" (i.e. stole it from) me in exchange for wallpaper. :lol:
