ready! on your marks...
Let's have a go at this
one!
This went around once before, but there's a lot
of newbie's here.
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...
