Rather hard to find informations about it, Guinness World Records name is Phraetobius walkeri, but it's nomen nudum and it seems to be undescribed yet.This thing is the terrestrial fish.
And of course it's a Siluriformes member.
Those fishes are capable of everything, and I tell you, one day they'll conquer the world.

Right there, evolution at its best. So basically a animal that feeds like a plant producing energy from the sunlight. Just amazing.

Not only that its an animal that actually moves around and looks like an animal, rather than being an animal that acts like a plant, looks like a rock or plant and is mostly inanimate.
