Oh, I had an African Catfish that tried to fence me in once. It pays to be wary of them, for sure.
Someone I know caught a 2 meter long catfish in a river in Poland once!


How about wallabies???

The Wallabies on Inch Connachan in Loch Lomond mostly stay at home, so if you have an island they're the livestock for you.  Wot, no wallaby icon  ???

"mostly"...... until the loch freezes and they give the locals on the A82 a fright  ;D .


A stray wallaby came to visit us a couple of years ago. From the height he was bouncing to, I don't think he'd have been easy to fence in at all.

Funny enough that island was actually for sale last year.

You can keep even the feistiest haggis under control by keeping them on flat ground.  Having their right legs longer than the left, they will graze in circles so never reach the way out.  They reach maturity early and are easy to catch for the same reason  :yum:   Haggises do not make good pets because of the characteristic pungent smell, especially the males, so best kept outdoors.
