Catfish are usually gray or brown, but did you know there’s a rare kind that looks like a big yellow banana? This special catfish has a genetic mutation called leucism, which makes it lose some color but not affect its eyes. It’s not the same as albinism, which is when an animal has no color at all. Only one in a million catfish has leucism and becomes pale yellow instead. Isn’t it amazing? Let’s say hello to this unique catfish and admire how much it looks like a swimming banana!
