00:00Ever wondered what it would be like to taste your food just by touching it?
00:06Well, there's an animal that basically does just that.
00:12Meet the catfish, yeah, that whiskered swimmer you see in rivers and lakes.
00:19These guys are covered head to tail in taste buds.
00:23I'm not kidding, their entire skin can taste.
00:27While we humans have about 10,000 taste buds, mostly on our tongues, a single catfish can have over 100,000 scattered all over its body.
00:41This incredible superpower lets them taste their surroundings in the murky water, helping them find their next meal without even seeing it.
00:52They're literally swimming taste detectors.
00:56So, next time you see a catfish, remember you're looking at one of the most sensitive tasters on the planet.
01:05Isn't nature just wild?
