Myth, monster or fish?

June 16, 2011 by Andrew Leave a Comment

Jeremy Wade’s show on the Discovery Channel is well worth a watch for anyone with an interest in the unusual. The series River Monsters is not just about fishing, it’s about exploring local legends, whispers and stories. In the video clip below Wade says;

These stories must have come from somewhere…

Shows have included quests to find mugger crocodiles, the 10 foot long Arapaima – a creature that can ramp predators with an impact equivalent of a car crash, sharks that make their way far up rivers, goliath tigerfish (in the episode called “demon fish”) and a host more.
