Catfish have whiskers, or barbels, that are highly sensitive and help them navigate their environment, locate food, and detect predators in murky waters where visibility is low. These barbels are equipped with taste buds, allowing catfish to taste their surroundings and identify food sources more effectively. This sensory adaptation is crucial for their survival, as it enables them to hunt and forage in dark or turbid habitats. Overall, whiskers and taste buds enhance their ability to find food and avoid danger.

No. Catfish (order Siluriformes) are fish, and fish do not produce milk to feed their young. In general, catfish females lay eggs and those eggs are left alone.

They look sort of like a cat's whiskers. Catfish are bottom-feeders, and the barbels have taste buds in them that help the fish find food in the mud.
