The Striped Catfish can be recognised by its striped colouration, barbels around the mouth, and its body shape which tapers to a point posteriorly. Small juveniles are black and large adults may be less distinctly striped. The dorsal and pectoral fins have hidden venomous spines that can cause hours of intense pain and the risk of collapse from shock. (Australian Museum) Found in Beirut, Lebanon

I saw this school of baby bullhead catfish from a foot bridge over the pond, something I hadn't seen before. Unfortunately I don't know how to make them look any better with our turbid water here. In any case, a new one for my prairie wildlife species collection. Thanks to Jessica for ID help.
No matter the season, it's always a thrill to find an otter; saw this one enjoying a hearty catfish meal the morning of Friday, June 10th.
The White-bellied Sea Eagle got the catfish firmly in its talons. Looks like this catfish got no avoiding fate this time.
