Big Gulp Catfish are not picky eaters, they will eat anything and everything that falls to them. Recently it has been discovered that up to 1600 different species of catfish produce venom, with effects varying from respiratory distress, involuntary muscle spasm and severe pain. The boney spines along the dorsal and pectoral fins are the means of distribution.

"The magnitude of wildlife mortality caused by cats that we report here far exceeds all prior estimates," said the paper co-authored by three U.S. scientists.

Regrann from @darylbalfourwildphotos - Feast of the Fishing Bears. A North American brown bear, aka coastal brown bear or grizzly bear, playing with his food like a naughty kid during the bears' time of plenty, the annual spawning season when rivers are flush with salmon returning to the headwaters of the rivers in which they hatched years before. It's an opportunity for the bears to gorge on the fatty roe (eggs) and flesh of these nutritious fish before the onset of winter and their long months of hibernation and fasting. During this time of plentiful food the bears seem totally focused on the salmon & uninterested in their human observers, allowing close approaches by photographers for images such as this.
