here's something stupid: the catcatfish

some quick facts:

  • they're nocturnal and tend to roam around while awake.
  • they have keen senses of smell and hearing, but terrible eyesight. despite this, they also have a tapetum lucidum, making their pupils "glow" in the dark.
  • their fur is short, dense, and oily to waterproof them.
  • they prefer a diet of mostly meat and are attracted to strong-smelling food like fish, cheese, and anything fermented.
  • the elongated dewclaw on each front paw is sharp, flexible, and nonretractable. it injects a venom that causes respiratory failure and cardiac arrest in prey and, in extreme doses, humans. veterenarians typically remove the dewclaw venom glands during the neuter/spay procedure.
  • they grow to an average of 1m and 23kg (3ft and 50lb) but can reach up to double that length and triple the weight!
