Catfish 'walk' down street
Friday, July 18, 2008

A school of 30 catfish were spotted 'walking' through the street after they crawled out of a sewer.

The fish came out of the sewer after heavy storms in Pinellas County, in Florida, on Tuesday.

Resident Dianna Fernandez said: 'I was like, 'No way there's fish in the street. 'And I kept going further and further and seeing fish everywhere -- in driveways. I've never seen anything like it.'

The fish used their pectoral fins to walk or shuffle around the streets.

Local Hannah Cline said: '(We thought) that maybe somebody dumped some fish but then we realized that it was coming up from the sewer that we had so much rain last night.'

A scientist with the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission said the catfish can travel on land as long as they stay moist.
