🌿 After Tilapia, Now Another Invader in Brazil… 🐟⚠️
First tilapia. Now the African catfish.
Brazil is facing a new invasive species—a fish that can survive drought and breathe air directly.
Yes, you read that right. The African catfish doesn't need to stay in water to live. It can breathe atmospheric oxygen and survive dry seasons buried in mud. When the rains return, it comes back to life and keeps spreading.
The video below explains how this invader is threatening local ecosystems, competing with native species, and why it's so hard to control.

What we know about the African catfish:
🔹 Survives out of water for hours
🔹 Can walk across land using its fins
🔹 Grows fast and eats almost anything
🔹 Already causing problems in Brazil's rivers

@everyone:
As gardeners, growers, or just people who care about nature—we need to pay attention. Invasive species don't respect borders.
Share what you know. Let's learn together. 🌱
