here's something stupid: the catcatfish

some quick facts:

they're nocturnal and tend to roam around while awake.

they have keen senses of smell and hearing, but terrible eyesight. despite this, they also have a tapetum lucidum, making their pupils "glow" in the dark.

their fur is short, dense, and oily to waterproof them.

they prefer a diet of mostly meat and are attracted to strong-smelling food like fish, cheese, and anything fermented.

the elongated dewclaw on each front paw is sharp, flexible, and nonretractable. it injects a venom that causes respiratory failure and cardiac arrest in prey and, in extreme doses, humans. veterenarians typically remove the dewclaw venom glands during the neuter/spay procedure.

they grow to an average of 1m and 23kg (3ft and 50lb) but can reach up to double that length and triple the weight!

Recently seen at The Art Institute of Chicago:

Miniature Tray Depicting Suche Fish and Peppers, 1450/1532 CE, Inca, Peru, polychrome ceramic.

Suche = Trichomycterus rivulatus, a freshwater pencil catfish species native to the Andean highlands, fished for food and ritual since ancient times. (Unfortunately, in modern times populations are becoming heavily depleted and contaminated. :(
