In the river Mekong recent years have caught many strange things of which most notable are an endangered species of catfish that can grow to 2.7 meters. Photo agency Fame Pictures gathered a collection of bizarre fish that are caught in the muddy river, which is 4350 kilometers long and flows through several countries.

In addition to the heavy 292 pound catfish that was caught first in May 2005, in the Mekong in December 2002 was caught and the giant ‘Siamese carp’. Long 172 centimeters, carp weighed 102 pounds. Also, in the longest river in Southeast Asia caught a freshwater pigeon. On 14th of December fishermen were pulled from the river pigeon, which were long even 413 and 202 centimeters wide.

In this river each year caught 1.3 million tons of fish – about ten times more than the annual fish catch in the Adriatic Sea. In the Mekong there are about 1200 species of fish, and some of these fish, as well as some types of crabs, are grown for commercial purposes.

Rapper Snoop Dogg released the YouTube video for his latest song, ‘My Medicine,’ which is dedicating to Johnny Cash and as it looks rapper embraces country music in it.

“His music touched people like me, which you probably didn’t know,” Dogg explained at the CMT Awards in April.

The single, which was recorded in Amsterdam, features Willie Nelson, Dancing With the Stars champ Julianne Hough and country star Brad Paisley. It’s considered a surprising turn from a man known mostly for gangster rap.

But the rapper said country music’s appeal is universal.

“Country music is the most underrated music in the world,” he said. “It always has the test of time, it’s great, it’s heartfelt, and it touches people no matter what color they are or where they’re from.”
