The World's Largest Animated Catfish, a 28-foot hammered-aluminum sculpture by artist L. Godwin (the same folk artist behind Dothan's World's Largest Hog), stands between Brundidge and Troy, Alabama, and features animated moving eyes, flapping gills, and a swishing tail. Official Alabama tourism material specifically bills it as the 'World's Largest Animated Catfish' -- a distinct record from the static, larger World's Largest Catfish Statue in Wahpeton, North Dakota (40 ft), avoiding an overlapping false-superlative claim.
