From time to time, walking catfish may be seen migrating en masse from water body to water body, often traversing busy South Florida roads in the process. Such migrations take place most often on rainy nights, as the cool moist conditions reduce the risk of desiccation and abrasion. Nonetheless, scores of individual walking catfish are often killed during these movements by automobile traffic. Sections of roads such as U.S. 41 (Tamiami Trail) can actually become hazardously slick with the crushed bodies of walking catfish.

I saw a walking catfish once. It was swimming. I said, "How did that fish get in that ditch." Some guy said, "It walked." I said, "No, seriously, how did it get in there?" He said, "Seriously, it walked." 10 years later I see that he was telling the truth. God Bless the Internet.
