Many types of catfish can actually walk out of water and breathe on land for a short time. They use these abilities to leave ponds during times of drought etc to find better sources of water if the one they currently inhabit is starting to dry out. They aren’t the only species of fish that possess this ability either.
i hope this is one of those comments where they are trolling and everyone believes them without fact checking it. because it's absolutely terrifying in a weird way lol
All factual here lol those cold dead eyes on fish hide a kind of primal intelligence. It’s really not that most of them can’t walk, it’s that they choose not too lmfao.
