Description
The channel catfish (Ictalurus punctatus) lives east of North America's Rocky Mountains and is the official fish of five different US states. Channel catfish are occasionally called "swimming tongues" because they have taste buds distributed all their body's surface and on their "whiskers." The increased sense of taste and smell these buds offer allows the channel catfish to hunt effectively in the opaque muddy waters it commonly inhabits.
