Blue Catfish Caught with Entire Wood Duck in Stomach

Graduate researcher Zach Crum holds a blue catfish capable of eating a wood duck whole.

You may have heard of a “turducken” at Thanksgiving: a chicken stuffed into a duck, stuffed into a turkey. Well, you could call this a “fishducken”.

Cheryl Costello explains, the discovery sheds light on just what these invasive fish are willing to eat.
