Now? Fish eating cats??? :o

A wonderful adaptation! This species was only introduces to this waterway in 1983. Here is the paper describing the discovery PLOS ONE: There is a much easier article here The catfish that strands itself to kill pigeons : Not Exactly Rocket Science

Northern Pike (Esox lucius) in northern Canada seem to have quite a taste for young/wild ducklings.
