Did you ever hear of a dog that flies or a horse that sings? Of course not! But there is a fish that walks. It is the walking catfish of Florida.

In the late 1960s, a few were brought from India to Florida. The walking catfish has no enemies in Florida, so its numbers have increased enormously.

The walking catfish walks on its fins. It usually travels at night and can walk a quarter of a mile in a few hours. It has organs like lungs as well as gills to help it breathe.

The walking catfish eats almost anything—worms, insects, plants, and other fish. When its watery home does not have enough food, it simply walks to a new one!
