My greatest fear in life is being somewhere I think is safe and hearing David Attenborough's voice say, "but little did he know"

[letmesleepinpeace]

Imagine going fishing and you have a fake pigeon as a lure lmao

[vladibalan]

Pigeon: "Hey guys! Something looks fishy here..."

[smtn]

The French will eat snails and frogs' legs, so I'm surprised they haven't started eating these catfish. They are big enough to make a good meal for several people.

A bottom feeder developing predation instincts is evolution in action.

It would be interesting to see how pigeons behave in other areas of Europe where the Wels catfish is native (Germany, Eastern Europe, etc)

[Ouderas]

I always see pigeons as flying rats, they're everywhere here in France they look dirty and eat anything and everything they can when in cities at least and yes they're not scared indeed

Imagine a human swimming in that river… is it safe for humans to be in any river anymore.?

"After a thousand years of living in this city, pigeons are now having to learn to avoid - A FISH!" 😄

Pigeon chilling on the side of the river: Why do I hear boss music and David Attenborough's voice?

[nowayjose]

It's like a miniature version of a crocodile attacking wild animals in the rivers, almost exactly the same. Same music, same sounds, same type of death.

[FirstandLast.]

Bird: "We have evolved to soar the skies and look down on you!"
Fish: >°_°< "come here and drink your water."

[NorthernCapeGrower]

big up to the videographers of this production

David Attenborough you made my childhood special

[foxxyfoxxers]

Wow! It’s incredible how accurate they seem! I first learned about the Wells catfish from Jeremy Wade on “River Monsters”. They really are river monsters!

[liveletlive]

On land it is the cat that hunts to eat the pigeons, in the water the same is being done by the catfish, relatable 😇

[J_boohoo]

The pigeons: I’m moving to new york city!

[xtreme]

So it’s basically a crocodilian animal in fish form.

This being free is really a blessing, considering the hardworking camera crew, musicians and GOAT narrator.

Edit : editors too

New hunting strategy for bottom dwelling fish..evolution at its best..
