What superpower do you think this one has?

It’s said that the amur catfish can detect earthquakes before they happen. When the earth begins to shake, the friction generates electricity, and that’s what they supposedly detect. Why do they have this ability? Well, these catfish are nocturnal and they eat organisms that give off very faint amounts of electricity. The amount of electricity produced from an earthquake is different from what organisms can produce, so they probably freak out when they detect it.

By the way, there’s an electric catfish that can actually emit an electric shock that paralyzes its foes.
