This was a pretty interesting story from The Sunday Newspaper. A
resident in the area saw a ball bouncing around - kind of strange in
The
Hartebeespoort dam 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
pictures.
