Meet the Man Who Stalks the World’s Biggest Catfish
by Douglas Main
In the slow-motion depths of Southeast Asia’s Mekong River lurks the critically endangered Mekong giant catfish, one of the world’s biggest freshwater fish. When biologist Zeb Hogan first spied this shadowy goliath as an exchange student to Thailand in 1997, he knew he had to learn more about them.
Since then, he’s branched out and begun studying other huge fish as a biologist at the University of Nevada, Reno, and a National Geographic Explorer. Now, he travels the world to find these beasts as a part of Nat Geo WILD’s “Monster Fish," which airs on Fridays.
The next episode will air tonight (July 19th ) at 10:00 PM EST. LiveScience’s OurAmazingPlanet got Hogan on the phone to hear more about his adventures…
