Thank you for the link Dave :Waves: Many of those I don't think I've heard of or have been aware of before. The only one I know that I have seen is the American Skunk-cabbage which I'm sure I've seen at Winkworth Arboretum in one of their ponds. |

Most of which i didn't realise were here either. Wels catfish can grow to a huge size Eric, possibly as much as 13 ft long and up to 62 stone in weight. The largest one ever caught by a fisherman is on the link below. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2967097/Giant-8ft-9in-catfish-weighing-19-stone-caught-Italy.html |
