Have you ever seen a fish get up and “walk” its way over to a puddle? Thanks to a video shared by one family in Florida, now you can.
A man in Gulfport in south Florida found an unusual visitor in his driveway on Sunday as Hurricane Debby − which has since been downgraded to a tropical storm − approached the state, bringing heavy rain, 80 mph winds and extensive flooding.
Louis Bardach told wire service Storyful that he was riding out the bad weather when he found none other than a catfish washed up in his driveway. Noting in the video that the fish was “very much alive,” Bardach explained to the camera that the “very weird catfish” had likely been dragged to the driveway by the storm.
Bardach’s footage shows the dark, whiskered fish sitting relatively still on the blacktop until Bardash moves to touch it, at which point it begins flopping back and forth in a slithering-like motion.
“It’s walking away,” Bardach continues. “Not sure how it got here, or where he’s trying to get to.”
