Fish Story
(Photos by Pam Driver)
Bill Driver, who lives in Wichita, KS, saw a ball bouncing around kind of strange in the lake and went to investigate. It turned out to be a flathead catfish who had obviously tried to swallow a basketball which became stuck in its mouth!! The fish was totally exhausted from trying to dive, but unable to because the ball would always bring him back up to the surface. Bill tried numerous times to get the ball out, but was unsuccessful. He finally had his wife, Pam, cut the ball in order to deflate it and release the hungry catfish. You probably wouldn't have believed this, if you hadn't seen the following pictures...











Be kinder than necessary 'cause everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle.
 
Interesting timing, I used the first image a few days ago in teaching image manipulation, comparing various fake or real images as a starting point to teaching photoshop. Makes one think about just how many aquatic 2D lives have been put to an early end by our obsession with plastic.
 
Poor thing had to be exhausted, unable to submerge and get a good breath of oxygen.
