Catfish belong to an order of freshwater and saltwater fishes that are notable for whisker-like structures called barbels on their face. Most catfish are bottom feeders, and use their sensitive barbels to help them find food in murkier waters near the bottom. Scientific Name: Order Siluriformes Characteristics: This Incredible Creatures Catfish toy includes a number of features typical to this order of fishes: eight barbels (whiskers) on its face, a small fleshy second dorsal fin, and a relatively drab coloration to help it blend in with the muddy waters it inhabits. Size and Color: This figure is 6 1/8 inches long and 2 ½ inches to the top of its dorsal fin. It's about the size of a smartphone. Its body is a dark olive green above fading to white on the belly, with rosy accents on its fins. The Catfish is part of the Incredible Creatures® collection.
