Interesting. It turns out some catfish have limited ability to breathe air, like those in Florida. These may be some of those.

Apparently these catfish got tired of being called bottom feeders.

A European catfish moves in to attack a group of pigeons. Tastes like chick'in! LOL!
Seriously, catfish tend to live in water with low oxygen content, that's why you sometimes see them 'gasping' at the surface for air.
Survival out of water for short periods is no problem for one of these whiskered eating machines.

An aquatic cat catching an airborne rat. Fitting.
To: Theoria
Give it a few thousand years, and a desire to walk on land, and develop legs and air-breathing lungs, and evolution will have transformed that catfish into a land predator, and possible into a man-eating monster.
Alternatively, it may remain what it is for eternity, since on one has ever witnessed that kind of evolution from one species to another.
