Now and then individual catfish of various species hunt nearer the surface and larger catfish such as the American Channel Cat will take a duck or other water bird. So, the modal catfish is a fish that hunts from below, can take large prey, and occasionally eats a bird. The range of size of sampled catfish ranges from 0.9

So I put together a “carnival” (of sorts) of Feral Cat Ordinances and Issues that samples current events across the US.

We know that animals can essentially lose their predator avoidance behaviors. You will see often repeated that the Galapagos are unique in the lack of fear of humans exhibited by the animal inhabitants.

Read what you want about the origin of domestic cats; the genetic evidence is not properly sampled. He also had tigers, cougars, and some other animals. This is approximated by the size of the animal, but really, this has to be adjusted for depending on modality of killing. Have you ever seen the Dryfus Lion?
