A genus of large catfish found in European and Asian waters, also called a wels catfish.
From Greek 'glanis' meaning catfish. This is likely an ancient Greek term that was directly adopted into modern scientific nomenclature as a genus name.
The glanis is an absolute monster—these catfish can grow over 9 feet long and live in rivers like the Danube, and medieval European villagers thought they were mythical creatures because they were so enormous.
