Mekong giant catfish grow continuously given ample food and space. Over time, they've evolved to reach massive sizes in the food-rich waters of the Mekong.
Though abundant in the early 1900s, their population in the wild has decreased by more than 80 percent since 1990. Mega specimens are rarely sighted now.
