When I was a kid ,and there we was water in Elephant Butte, we would go water skiing in the summertime. Fisherman told us that the giant catfish would come and a bite us while were were waiting for the boat to pull us up on our skis. I loved swimming as a kid, but stories like that made me afraid of swimming in open water like large lakes and oceans.
There is something scary about open water when you don’t know what is there. I loved playing in the ocean at the beach. One time we went to a beach where all these jellyfish had washed up on the sand. On the one hand, it was kind of cool to see, but on the other hand, it freaked me out about swimming in the ocean again.
Wow I thought it was you holding up half of a surf board and some one else taking the photos and then I did some research. I had no idea that there are river sharks. Bull sharks which are the most aggressive and the most dangerous sharks in the world and then the speartooth shark that is not as dangerous. They keep track of both of these species because they are oddly ever seen. So you may have yourself an endangered species popping up there by the Rio Grande.
I still think either you or your honey is holding up a surf board, pretty funny Tim. Great photography whoever is holding the camera. Just kidding of course as these are very rare. Sending you both big hugs and love, Joni
That is wild. They may be close to being over fifty who knows. We got the biggest kick out of that. I have never seen one with a fin like that. Pretty cool Tim. That was like a very cool post showing so many of your gifts. ❤️🤗💕💝🦈🦈
Off Center & Not Even 
WOW. The photos are splendid Timothy.
Yes, and really reflecting.
Thanks, Eunice.
The pleasure is mine.
Thanks, Gabriela.
My pleasure 🌹
Please, do river sharks actually exist?
Yes they do, but I think this one is a large catfish. I only saw its fins.
Okay, thanks for the response.
I was wondering what that was!
Thanks, Lavinia.
I didn’t even know catfish got to be that big! One learns new things every day.
World record catfish weigh in at 143 pounds, 57 inches long and 44 inches in girth. They get to be quite large. Pretty scary, actually.
Wow! That’s like a short human size. I had no idea catfish could get that big

I’ve seen jelly fish on the beach. They are fascinating by scary. You understand the issue with not knowing what’s under you.
Beautiful
Thanks, Athira.
Always welcome
Just learned about river sharks by you and Wikipedia afterwards. Seems as if this was an anusual guest to the Rio Grande?
A beautiful rose!
In reality, I think this one is a large catfish. I only saw the fins. Thanks, Heidi.
WOW!!!! A special guest. They all want to model for you.
Thanks, Shey.
…as long as it’s reflecting!!! 😉
Your Mermaid is gorgeous!
Happy Monday and week ahead, my friend!
Thanks, Marina.
😊
That Mermaid! 💗
Thanks, Nancy.
Your photographs are amazing. I’ve seen sharks in brackish water. I love the Mermaid.
River shark, catfish… let our imaginations go. Shark is way more exciting so, it is so 😉
And the mermaid is lovely.
The fin look shark-like to me. Thanks, Dale.
Crazy!!
Jaws, Jr?
Could be. It’s big for the shallows of the Rio Grande. Thanks, Teri.
The colours in the river shark pictures are amazing. You’ve really caught the shimmer of the light and reflections.
Thanks, Roberta.
It is when they become land sharks that you really have to start worrying!
Land sharks can be menacing. Thanks, Brian.
That’s a real shark in fresh water? So cool! Poor mermaid. We need rain here too.
Hi Darren. There are sharks that swim into fresh water. The fin I photographic is probably a large catfish. Close enough to a river shark
Beautiful 😍
Thanks, Moumita.
Your welcome
Beautiful photos
Thanks, Pratik.
❤
Beautiful pics David. Wow, I had know idea a shark could live there!💖
No David here. But I do the same thing sometimes when I looking at one name and commenting on another post. It’s a big catfish. Thanks, Cindy.

Real river sharks can’t make it up this far, but those big catfish are pretty shark-like. Thanks, Joni.
