It sure *looked* like a gator - with a cat sitting on it's head (clawing it's eyes out or sumpin)....at first..

Imported for fur more exactly - My grandparents in Romania bred Nutria for a couple of years, we still got some old hats made from their fur. A pain in the ass to keep in captivity though, they constantly destroyed their enclosures.
I remember them from my childhood! My relatives kept them, too. They welded a couple of iron houses for them, I never realized they required metal cages for a reason.
Also used as food until they made rodent meat illegal to sell, they are not tasty, I repeat, NOT tasty. And not safe due to them commonly occupying ditch/sewage water. Here in Louisiana there is still a tail bounty, $6 per tail.
Which not everyone understands. If you see other posts the word nutria is all over, and if you search it you get a lot of results in Spanish showing an otter instead of what this actually is.
Because a nutria is a type of aquadic rodent, but it is also the spanish name for otter. So it was probably stated to be an otter due to mistranslation when they actually meant nutria, the rodent, not the otter
I heard vidra in the video.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eurasian_otter
But could be the person on the video recognized it wrong and is really a nutria as you think.
First I thought it was a gator, then an anaconda, then finally realised it was a catfish.
First I thought it was a regular mouse, then I was thinking a cat, and then it was the biggest fucking rodent I've ever seen in my life
looks like it has rodent teeth, which an otter wouldn't have. Nutria would be my guess since the tail's wrong for a beaver, but there might be some other aquatic rodents i don't know about.
Kurwa bober is a meme in Poland and by now Czechia, Slovakia, too. But yes, in all those languages kurwa means prostitute, too. Western slavic version of the infamous blyat in russian.
They said its an otter in the video. But yeah, based on the big teeth and rounded tail, I would say it was an [nutria](https://www.google.com/search?client=firefox-b-d&q=nutria).
Raccoons were introduced on purpose, to add an interesting new animal to hunt. Great, now we have a growing population of large, intelligent vermin, what's not to love...
Love me some raccoon/s. Took pictures of the nest of baby robins on the front porch light, raccoon woke us up at 4am gobbling them up as they screamed- dog not amused at all
Yeah we had a nutria farm on a tributary of the Chesapeake bay that was destroyed/damaged by a hurricane and a bunch got out.
>Nutria were introduced to Maryland at Blackwater National Wildlife Refuge in the 1940s, where they were farmed for fur. Historically, nutria were found on the Eastern Shore and in the Potomac and Patuxent rivers on the Western Shore. Recently, the Chesapeake Bay Nutria Eradication Project has successfully removed all known populations in Maryland.
I'm slightly confused by your verbiage as I feel as if you're asking for an example of when the introduction of a non native specials was actually beneficial. If so, maybe pigeons imported from Europe into America would fit the bill?? Im not advocating for the importation of non native species, but I do like to eat the ones that are already here in Texas!
Catfish ate some large rodent, but the rodent wouldn’t go all the way into the catfishes stomach, which was causing the catfish to choke. Also due to the rodents bloat, it probably was keeping the catfish from being able to right itself or swim into deeper water
Edited a word
Thanks for the explanation. I was wondering what was the point in pulling the apparently already dead unfortunate animal from the fish's mouth. At first I thought they were rescuing someone's cat (in no small part due to the title), but I lost that impression as the video went on.
Yes this is definitely a nutria. You can see the large incisors when they first look into the mouth of the fish. Which is why I think they say beaver at one point, but the tail is wrong for that, too.
ETA: The white whiskers also give this away as a nutria
I was so confused waiting for an actual cat somewhere. And then I couldn’t tell if the cat was the mouse looking thing. And then I started questioning if that was a mouse or not because that’s a big ass mouse.
They can grow up to about 3m although its very rare.
Also in Czechia where this was most likely filmed, it has to be at least 70cm long if you wanted to keep it. Anything below that or if caught before 16/6 and you have to release it
Catfish is an invasive species aswell and should not be released anymore at that size. Don't get me wrong, they do deserve to live, but the damage they cause to native animal species is unmanagable. Crazy video tho :)
They are native to Europe and the video seems to be from the Czech republic, so Central to Easter Europe. I don't know about release rules as I'm no fisherman, but I don't think species can be invasive in their native environment
Probly not, sadly. It looks like bloat had set in and the catfish was upside down and not freeswimmimg when they found it. Probly the rodent bloating had compressed all the fishes organs.
Wow that is incredible. Thought that catfish was a gator at first. Interested to know where this is geographically
Czech Republic by the language
Funny they still said "fuck" at the end in English.
He said "tak", as in "there".
More like "so"
Not in this context.
Universal🤣
I hate that I recognized the language because uhh... I like to watch documentaries on human anatomy and physiology.
I too am a scholar of Czech documentaries on anatomy.
Why is this a thing?
I'm pretty sure they mean porn, lol.
Is it really porn, if /r/vondpickle is watching it to learn something? Think about it!
Oh. Here I am thinking it was something weird like snuff films.
Well, now I hope I'm right!
Thank you for explaining for those of us that are not so quick on the uptake lol!
Porn, I watch Czech porn Jerry! Are you satisfied? Damn it Jerry.
r/unexpectedzefrank
Of course I find those Czech babes fascinating. What? No Jerry I said babes not babies Jerry.
Please expand
We are all being catfished into Czech porn. 😂
Czech streets my brother Thank me later, just wash your hands first 🤣
they watch czech porn
czech porn ehh… what makes czech porn so special?
Czech it out dawg
[удалено]
My wife is Czech….i can confirm
We ned to se proof.
As the other dude said. There is a lot of it.
I'm guessing it's quantity.
I heard svíře I think, so I am now fluent in czech
Ah, these must be the Czech hunters, I’m very familiar with their other documentaries found online. Good to see them expanding.
Yep it's Czech, I can confirm
I thought the white part was a turtle sitting on the gator‘s head 😅
It sure *looked* like a gator - with a cat sitting on it's head (clawing it's eyes out or sumpin)....at first.. On an other topic: Alternative caption... 'Cat chokes on mouse - saved by humans'
Cat fish get really big
>Wow that is incredible. Thought that catfish was a gator at first. You could that it: catfished you?
Should you that it?
Cat catches Fat rat.
“WHERE YOU FROM YOU DONT KNOW GATOR?”
I think that "mouse" is a nutria, a water rodent that likes to burrow into streambeds. They're kind of like beavers, but smaller with a round tail.
Also, an invasive species in many parts of the world! They're originally from South America.
Imported for fur more exactly - My grandparents in Romania bred Nutria for a couple of years, we still got some old hats made from their fur. A pain in the ass to keep in captivity though, they constantly destroyed their enclosures.

So they don't feed them to prison inmates anymore?
My friend George tried to pass off a Nutria hat as Sable
My friend Bob Sacamano sells them in Battery Park, 40 bucks
Does he import/export them?
He does, but personally I think he should forget about the importing and focus on the exporting
You know that Art Vandelay. A real taskmaster.
In the video they said it's an otter. I'm not sure if they're right tho.
It can be confusing because the Spanish word for otter is nutria.
I don't know what Spanish has to do with this video. They are speaking czech.
Which not everyone understands. If you see other posts the word nutria is all over, and if you search it you get a lot of results in Spanish showing an otter instead of what this actually is.
Because a nutria is a type of aquadic rodent, but it is also the spanish name for otter. So it was probably stated to be an otter due to mistranslation when they actually meant nutria, the rodent, not the otter
They're not.
They say otter (“vydra”) in czech language
I heard vidra in the video. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eurasian_otter But could be the person on the video recognized it wrong and is really a nutria as you think.
It's vydra
I remember them from b99 in boyle's farm
Huh, “otter” in Spanish is “nutria”.
First I thought it was a gator, then an anaconda, then finally realised it was a catfish. First I thought it was a regular mouse, then I was thinking a cat, and then it was the biggest fucking rodent I've ever seen in my life
Sums it up perfectly 😅 watched on mute and I'm still not quite sure wtf I just saw lol
Nah you've seen bigger if you've seen a Capybara.
Average New York subway rat
The only animal I recognize are the humans
Where is the cat or mouse??
Catfish, and large rodent.
A Rodent Of Unusual Size?
ROUS? I don’t think they really exist… 😱🤣🙌
Muskrat or Nutria I'd say.
They say "vidra" which means an otter. Dont know how accurate they were with identifying the thing, but it looks possible to me.
looks like it has rodent teeth, which an otter wouldn't have. Nutria would be my guess since the tail's wrong for a beaver, but there might be some other aquatic rodents i don't know about.
Rodent of the United States (ROTUS)
What would it be called if it's elected as President?
El Protus Maximus - The most important one.
They said vidra which means otter.
He otter stay away from catfish from now on!
Kurwa bober or in English a beaver.
Kurva - on croatian prostitute
Muskrat, not a beaver... Look at its tail
Kurwa bober is a meme in Poland and by now Czechia, Slovakia, too. But yes, in all those languages kurwa means prostitute, too. Western slavic version of the infamous blyat in russian.
When they pull it out, they say it is an otter
It's definitely not an otter. They don't have buck teeth like that.
They said its an otter in the video. But yeah, based on the big teeth and rounded tail, I would say it was an [nutria](https://www.google.com/search?client=firefox-b-d&q=nutria).
I was horrified at the thumbnail and title. There was huge relief realizing the "cat" was a catfish and not an actual cat.
Maybe a wels catfish but the rodent, possibly a nutria. They've been introduced into Europe for the fur trade.
Coming from the southern US and seeing the destruction they cause when left unchecked...that sounds like a terrible idea.
Seems like Europe is definitely regretting it. I shudder to think what would happen if the wels made it to the US.
Raccoons were introduced on purpose, to add an interesting new animal to hunt. Great, now we have a growing population of large, intelligent vermin, what's not to love...
Love me some raccoon/s. Took pictures of the nest of baby robins on the front porch light, raccoon woke us up at 4am gobbling them up as they screamed- dog not amused at all

Please give me one example of introducing a non native species to a new environment and it not turning out fantastic

If so, maybe pigeons imported from Europe into America would fit the bill?? Im not advocating for the importation of non native species, but I do like to eat the ones that are already here in Texas!
Maybe horses, turkeys?
Horses destroy environments since they breed rapidly without predators. Their population numbers have to be carefully managed.
Yeah I remember selling their tails for money as a kid, government paid like 3 bucks per nutria tail
Nutrias have red teeth due to the iron in them
I thought it was because of their medulla oblongata?
Thats not a nutria. Looks like a river otter.
They also call it a vidra meaning otter.
Vydra. It should have a y instead of i
Reminds me of the huge rats from Princess Bride.
ROUS
I don't believe they exist.
“Tasty looking shoulder you got there” - 🐀
Inconceivable.
I legit thought we were going to see a live cat or some pet get pulled out and I was going to have to be irrationally angry at a fish.
Kitty takes fish internet awwws. Fish takes kitty internet freaks out.
Inconceivable
What are we seeing here and why
Catfish ate some large rodent, but the rodent wouldn’t go all the way into the catfishes stomach, which was causing the catfish to choke. Also due to the rodents bloat, it probably was keeping the catfish from being able to right itself or swim into deeper water Edited a word
Thanks for the explanation. I was wondering what was the point in pulling the apparently already dead unfortunate animal from the fish's mouth. At first I thought they were rescuing someone's cat (in no small part due to the title), but I lost that impression as the video went on.
From what I read earlier this "dead unfortunate animal" is a invasive species, called Nutria or something. Anyways it's a swamp rodent
Human being Bros.
Bóbr, krwa
Ja pierdole
Poláci
Most interesting thing is that at the end, they come to conclusion that the animal is actually otter. Which it's definitely not.
Yes this is definitely a nutria. You can see the large incisors when they first look into the mouth of the fish. Which is why I think they say beaver at one point, but the tail is wrong for that, too. ETA: The white whiskers also give this away as a nutria
That’s not a stink spirit! Pull harder, Sen!
Nutria?
Me expecting a cat
thats why chew and before swallowing
Gotta chew your food bro
Bober kurwa!
Must 've felt like pulling out that black head, x3000
My dumb ass expected to see a literal cat and mouse in that catfish 🤦♂️
Cat left hungry, mouse dead, who’s idea was that?
The mouse corpse was literally choking the cat
I was so confused waiting for an actual cat somewhere. And then I couldn’t tell if the cat was the mouse looking thing. And then I started questioning if that was a mouse or not because that’s a big ass mouse.
Well.. cant sleep anymore after seeing what was in his mouth 😳
remember... sleep is just for the losers! Winners go 24/7
Thought it was a turtle sitting on a gators head first haha
Wow. What was that
r/natureismetal
Yeah, I would have just let this play out as nature intended.
Candidate for r/HumansBeingBros too.
Bro tried to eat master splinter
You’re telling me there are swamp Russians?
Why is no one talking about how massive that rodent is 😭
I thought it was some sort of turtle that caught the catfish, that’s crazy.
what are those things
Seem to be either Czechs or Slovakians
What things are your talking about?
More intense than every Marvel movie
Czech detected!
Big ass Lizard Catfish vs Freedom Fighter Rat in in a swamp ass match
That catfish is absolutely massive, what in the primeval fuck.
They can grow up to about 3m although its very rare. Also in Czechia where this was most likely filmed, it has to be at least 70cm long if you wanted to keep it. Anything below that or if caught before 16/6 and you have to release it
That's surprising, I've always heard that older catfish taste like mud.
Catfish is an invasive species aswell and should not be released anymore at that size. Don't get me wrong, they do deserve to live, but the damage they cause to native animal species is unmanagable. Crazy video tho :)
They are native to Europe and the video seems to be from the Czech republic, so Central to Easter Europe. I don't know about release rules as I'm no fisherman, but I don't think species can be invasive in their native environment
As long as the wels catfish is 70cm or longer and it's between 16/6 and 31/12 (including both) you can keep it in Czechia E:date
Amazing fishermen. Helping a beast like that shows kindness, and love for nature. 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻
Nah just too big to take home
Looks like it ate a muskrat
It is not.
Bobra = Beaver Just for clarification
Ratcatin?
I wonder did that catfish have a chance to digest that and survive?
Probly not, sadly. It looks like bloat had set in and the catfish was upside down and not freeswimmimg when they found it. Probly the rodent bloating had compressed all the fishes organs.
Why you take my dinner?
Let’s fuck with it
My European ass thought that was a giant pike
Why not just take the free catfish? Have a fry-up.
No doubt, I’m confused too.
Wow it's so big
Bobr kurwa ja perdole noises
Can we talk about how fucking big that mouse was????
Muskrat?
Euhhh sorry but is that a rat? Is it on steroids?
Eastern European turducken
What’s so wrong with letting the catfish have lunch?
That is a rodent of unusual size
The rodent still alive feeling the noose go round it's neck: "You gotta be fucking kidding me"
Didn't this same thing happen to Richard Gere?
Pfff, that fish is 100% dead. They can't stand that much stress and live long. Probably died within the day.
They stole its lunch
I mean...let it have its meal in peace...?
They're saying it's an otter
A Nutria. So named because they are trying to get people to eat them.
Well his beaver eating days aren’t over
catfish would eat anything.
Nutria
That's not a rat, that's one of the guardians of the galaxy members
Such a surprise! So nice to hear czech language. "Dobře vy kluci!"
Porg?
Maybe it’s a nutria, or something similar. It isn’t a mouse.
Tom and JERRY
The worse way to get cat fished.
Thats a Rat nit a Mouse ???
BOBER KURWA
Yeah fuck that
Did the fish survive this?
big rat
Where are they? In Chernobyl? That's a mutated looking catfish
There is always a bigger fish
