"Guyana Rivers"

There are up to a thousand species of catfish, some so small they live in gills of other fish to others as large as boats. Locals call them "smokin hassar" because of their lips and how they breathe in and out when you pull them out of the water. They jam cigarettes in their mouths for fun to watch them smoke.
