This was a pretty interesting story from The Sunday Wichita Eagle
Newspaper a couple of weeks ago. A resident in the area saw a ball
bouncing around kind of strange in a nearby pond and went to investigate.
It turned out to be a flathead catfish who had obviously tried to swallow
a child's basketball which became stuck in its mouth!!
The fish was totally exhausted from trying to dive, but unable to
because
the ball would always bring him back up to the surface. The resident
tried
numerous times to get the ball out, but was unsuccessful. He finally
had
his wife cut the ball in order to deflate it and release the hungry
catfish.
You probably wouldn't have believed this, if you hadn't seen the
following
pictures...
