All giant aquatic beasts are friends of this space. The Mekong giant cat fish may not be as majestic as the whale shark—and it certainly doesn’t have the ravishing looks of the bottlenose dolphin (or the manatee for that matter)—but we love it all the same.
The Mekong giant catfish is endangered, much in the same way all critters of Earth seem to be nowadays.
A word to nature show hosts, though, just because a beastie is toothless, that shouldn’t give you license to stick your hand in its mouth. That just doesn’t seem like the gentlemanly thing to do.

I actually felt the drama as the ice closed in on them. Their bobbing is so expressive.
