Europæisk malle

Den europæiske malle (Silurus glanis, Silurus silurus, Silurus glanis aralensis), (eng. Wels Catfish) kan blive mindst 60 år, 4,5 meter og kan veje 300 kg.

Den kan kravle mindre strækninger over land og er mest et natdyr.

Den kan have mange farver, men almindeligvis er den olivengrøn evt. med rødlige toner på oversiden og hvidlig på undersiden.

Den lever af fisk, krebsdyr, mosegrise, ænder og ællinger. Større europæiske maller spiser f.eks. hunde: Catfish eats pet dog.
