Giant Man-eating Catfish Found

[GuppyDude]

Lol, yea that no catfish. definately a whale shark. catfish typically feed at the bottom. If the remains of a man were found in a giant catfish it would be more likely that the victim drowned before being devoured.

Huh, whale sharks don't eat humans, they eat plankton.

Thats what I was thinking!!

 

[Scotch_Egg]

wow! It looks like a giant leech! I wouldnt put it in my tank i would keep it on my door step as a guard dog! Thats after its eaten my dog by the way.

 

[toddnbecka]

It's not a whale shark, it's a catfish without barbels. They were probably pulled off by the desperate victims being swallowed...

 

[Scotch_Egg]

Yeh, desperation can do that to people. all the guys in that pic are posing aswel. camra phone my arse! it could be a prehistoric catfish.

 

[roseK]

my cell phone takes pretty good pictures!

that poor poor thing.. laying in the middle of the streets being cut up and bleeding everywhere.. and being touched by a million old asian men

creepy..

 

[Scotch_Egg]

Why kill it is what i dont get! If it was sooooooo amazing then let it live but in a aqua museum or something. It was a billient discovery and all those asian men killed it. Thats what i dont get. Sorry minny rant there. I'll have a proper one back at work.

 

[roseK]

maybe they are all lying, they say its man eating so they can kill it, but really they are going to make it into soup!

Actually they eat both.

It feeds on phytoplankton, macro-algae, plankton, krill and small nektonic life, such as small squid or vertebrates.

The Atlanta Aquarium has four whale sharks in captivity. From what my LFS was saying, apparently they keep dying before they are full grown, which makes it kind of sad they are keeping them in captivity.
