The critically endangered Mekong Giant Catfish is nearly extinct. This is arguably the largest freshwater fish on the planet. It set a world record for being the largest freshwater fish ever caught and rivals many other mega fish found throughout the world. This week we talk about just how amazing catfish are! From their "whiskers" or barberls, to their slimy skin, and so much more. We talk about mega fish and how many are facing extinction. We also chat about our latest interviews, one of which is Dr. Zeb Hogan, who stars in National Geographic's Megfish. We share some of his insight and wisdom as to why we need to save these incredible animals.
