Am I the only one that thinks this would be cool to see? - optamystic, on 03/19/2009, -0/+18"In Florida the fish has become a 'pest' after it was brought over from Thailand in the 1960s.
Residents of the US state regularly have to stop cars to wait for huge 'shoals' of the fish to pass as they shuffle along the road looking for water"
Yeah, that's why I moved away from Florida. The huge shoals of walking catfish ***** up traffic. That's some quality journalism there, Telegraph. - gramathy, on 03/19/2009, -4/+19I would think something like that would pretty much seal the deal for evolution.
But noooooooooo, people always hatin', even when we give em what they ask for. - skunkw0rks, on 03/19/2009, -0/+15No video of it walking?

- Klak, on 03/19/2009, -2/+14In the beginning, we were all fish swimming around in the water. One day, a couple of fish had a retard baby. And the retard baby was different, so it got to live. So the retard fish goes on to make more retard babies, and then one day, a retard baby crawled out of the ocean with its mutant fish hands. And it had butt sex with a squirrel or something and made this retard frog squirrel.
And then that had a retard baby, which was a monkey-fish-frog. And then this monkey-fish-frog had butt sex with that monkey, and that monkey had a mutant retard baby that screwed another monkey, and that made you. So there you go – you're the retarded offspring of five monkeys that had butt sex with a fish squirrel.

"
That is a complete and total un-researched lie. These fish are delicious and expensive at the stores, if people were "regularly" encountering shoals, they would kill them and eat them and then there would be no more shoals on the roads. - donsnyc, on 03/19/2009, -1/+10A walking catfish walks into a bar.....
- mattugi, on 03/19/2009, -0/+8If I were living the Thames, I'd want to get out as well...
- Jashobeam5, on 03/18/2009, -0/+8LOL!
- Maxxpowers, on 03/19/2009, -1/+8And so it begins...
- throttlefull, on 03/19/2009, -7/+14and religious zealots argue that if we truly originated from the water then we would have living intermediates...
- Jhiaxuz, on 03/19/2009, -0/+7Lack of legs may be an issue.
- inactive, on 03/19/2009, -1/+7I want submissive catgirls. That is all.
- EarlOfLade, on 03/19/2009, -2/+7Gap'ing...
There is always a gap between two and they will latch onto and pimp the gap for all it's worth. It's a never ending cacophony of insanity. - InfinitySnatch, on 03/20/2009, -0/+5They have the same problem in Australia only with deadly cat-eating spiders.
- tomajio, on 03/20/2009, -0/+5the last thing we need is a bunch of harmless slow goofy walking fishes?
- inactive, on 03/20/2009, -0/+5Food delivered for free?
- jlopez28, on 03/19/2009, -0/+5"Residents of the US state regularly have to stop cars to wait for huge 'shoals' of the fish to pass as they shuffle along the road looking for water."
I actually wouldn't mind seeing this, imagine seeing these species wiggling back and forth back and forth wasting our time. - TonyCubed, on 03/19/2009, -2/+6It's hardly "walking".
- mycoplasma, on 03/19/2009, -0/+3No, when a species from the other side of the world is introduced into an ecosystem that is not ready for it, it's a bad thing.
- phamtasm, on 03/19/2009, -0/+3Why don't people just catch them and eat them? What's with all the Telegraph and DailyMail stories lately?
- NicoNicoNico, on 03/19/2009, -2/+5Not good to find an exotic animal in a habitat. The other animals in the area wouldn't be adapted to them and could potentially be wiped out.
- ZincSaucier, on 03/18/2009, -4/+7Thank's telegraph, let us know if any gold fish are found in the local sewer, too
- andreo, on 03/20/2009, -0/+3It's a walking fish. Isn't it supposed to be found in places you wouldn't normally find it? Now if it starts climbing fences, well...
- beesaretasty, on 03/19/2009, -0/+3It's hardly a "cat"
- hooah212002, on 03/20/2009, -0/+3Well, that, and the killer Burmese Pythons on the loose.
- aquafire, on 03/19/2009, -0/+3Translation: The local angler took the catfish home and ate him for dinner.
- Jashobeam5, on 03/20/2009, -0/+3It has whiskers, it growls and it eats tuna- it's a cat.
- waydee, on 03/20/2009, -0/+2They found loads of crabs in the Thames recently that were judged safe to eat, I think they are a Chinese delicacy or something. If Catfish become a problem we just need to find some people who think they're tasty too.
- inactive, on 03/19/2009, -0/+2Catfish tastes amazing. I'd get out there with a net.
- drcreek, on 03/20/2009, -0/+2Serve it with chips.
- aquafire, on 03/19/2009, -0/+2Survival of the fittest!
- hooah212002, on 03/20/2009, -0/+2I started reading this,and I was going to flame the ***** out of you....
Then I read on and LOL'd - Super6, on 03/19/2009, -0/+2That what I would do. If there were a bunch then I'd sell them. Fried catfish is yum.
- hooah212002, on 03/20/2009, -0/+2Show me a snake with fins and you have a point.
- lostinseganet, on 03/20/2009, -0/+2Do you think that humans would ever give another species a change to evoluve to anything that could compete with us. I think robots have the best chance of getting the upper hand.
- vagrantwade, on 03/19/2009, -2/+4I would hardly call that "walking"
- Y0tsuya, on 03/19/2009, -0/+2Catfishes on the road in front of you? It's a gift! No need for bait and tackle. Just walk up and grab some. Guess what's for dinner tonight!
- theanticrust1, on 03/20/2009, -0/+2Not proof, evidence.
- Jashobeam5, on 03/20/2009, -0/+2Grill it over fire.
- damntourists, on 03/20/2009, -0/+2that's the closest to walking you're going to get with a fish. this isn't muddy mudskipper we're talking about.
- AGONYTUESDAY, on 03/19/2009, -2/+4yeah...evolution can't possibly exist...
- coastiefish, on 03/19/2009, -0/+2Florida should focus on those loose snakes before worrying about walking catfish.
- Pseudorious, on 03/20/2009, -0/+2Flying squirrels must blow this guy's mind.
- andreo, on 03/20/2009, -1/+3I for one welcome our walking catfish overlords...
- inactive, on 03/20/2009, -0/+2south park, quote of Mr. Garrison, evolutionary skeptic
- JDBagley, on 03/19/2009, -0/+2This reminds me of PETA's "sea kittens" campaign. I was going to suggest we go the opposite route and start referring to felines as "land fish" but...too late.
- Jashobeam5, on 03/21/2009, -0/+1hooah- You have to get freshwater catfish for that "clean" taste. Channel cats taste the best.
- Jashobeam5, on 03/20/2009, -0/+1LOL!
