Don't Go Noodling for Catfish in the Guangdong Reservoir!

It's a 3 meter long man-eating catfish whose head alone is 1 meter
wide! After cutting up the catfish people were surprised to find the
remains of a man inside!  LINK

Looks to me like one of those umm...what are they called....oh gee you know, those fish that suck the glass and stuff in a aquarium....umm....oh a Placo....or maybe since someone said it is a dirty mud fish it is a new breed..."Pleco-Betta Fish Hybid"

It is definitely a whale shark! There is no question about it. I have studied sharks for years as a hobby and I knew it was a whale shark the moment I saw it. The thing is, white sharks do not eat fish or men or anything of the type. They eat krill. They are one of the most friendly and peaceful sharks that exist. I dont believe this story. Not at all.

look up whale shark on google imaging. same pattern. This is actually a small one.

[Carey]

and I want to say to mike, do you even know what a whale shark looks like? Its dorsal is very small and about two thirds of the way back on its body. You can see in the picture here that the second man back on the left side is holding up the sharks dorsal fin. nearing the tail it has a very distinctive whale shark pattern, parallel lines with dots creating a line through the center.I would also like to correct my previous comment about the krill. I meant to say plankton. The eat plankton. sorry about that

The whale shark is not a protected species in all countries. It is protected in the Philippines, USA, Maldives, Australia, Malaysia, and Honduras. Whale sharks in some studies have been known to eat anchovies. It is a filter feeder though. Its eyes are near the front of its head and on each side of the head. Flat head, and it has been rarely seen in rivers and estuaries during studies conducted.
