A man went to the riverbank during the dry season. He dug around everywhere but couldn’t find anything. In his moment of despair, he discovered an abandoned boat that had not been used for many years.
The man flips the boat over and is surprised by the discovery underneath.
This man used all his strength to flip the boat over and made an unexpected discovery. It turned out that underneath the boat were many fish hiding. They sought refuge under the boat to escape the sun during the dry days.
The species of fish that can survive out of water for such a long time is the catfish (scientific name: Clariidae) – a fish that has a specialized respiratory organ in its gills, allowing it to extract oxygen from the air. Moreover, catfish can also move on land for considerable distances in search of water.
As a result, the man simply used his hands to gently pull the fish out of their hiding spots and put them into a bucket. He managed to collect a bucket full of fish thanks to his understanding of this species’ characteristics.
