This is one of the longest running blogs on the topic of Japan. The blog is about things occurring in Japan. All topics are fair game. I have been deep in the Japanese global community for 20 years, so ask questions if you have any. The blog started out focusing on the many unusual and literally ancient animals in Japan. Over time people wanted to know, see, and read more, so I expanded the blog.

The Giant Lake Biwa Catfish of Shiga, Japan
I just found out about this one. Very interesting and odd catfish. Could have subspecies in the same lake.
The Giant Lake Biwa Catfish is a close relative of the Wels Catfish that lives in Japan in Lake Biwa. Also known as the Biwako-ohnamazu, this fish is also the largest fish in the lake. It can grow to be 5 feet long and weigh 331 pounds.
