:thankyou: for the link to a very interesting article Dave,
I had never heard of there being Coati in the UK before. The Pitcher plant looks amazing I'd love to see one of those! :)

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.

A very interesting link, Dave, I wouldn't like to meet a 3 metre long Wels Catfish while swimming!

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.
