The walking catfish is a freshwater fish known for its elongated body and ability to traverse land. Typically reaching 12-20 inches in length and weighing up to 2 pounds, it thrives in muddy, low-oxygen waters. Its diet includes small fish, invertebrates, and detritus. Notably, it can survive out of water for extended periods, using its pectoral fins to move across land. This summary is AI generated
