Catfish
Whiskers, spines, and river smarts
Whiskers, spines, and river smarts
Eyes apart. Tongue like lightning.
Big frog. Bigger boom.
The clam that runs on sunlight.
Little hopper of the forest edge
The master of seaweed disguise
Freshwater armor, silent power
Vernal-pool tiger, underground traveler
Nature's living twigs and leaves
Built to graze, born to swim
Two eyes, one side-seafloor masters
Venom by chew, built for the desert
Sticky toes, big voices, forest lives
Tadpole larva, siphon-powered adult
Warty wanderer, springtime pond pilgrim
The long-snouted fisher of big rivers
Australia's wild voice of the outback
Born in water, gone in a day
Flash the belly, live to tell it.
Built for burrows, made for deserts
Borrowed shells, bold lives
Dig deep. Emerge with the rain.
Bask. Bolt. Dive.
Crevice kings with a second bite
