A family of freshwater catfish found primarily in North America, including bullheads and madtoms.
A scientific family name (taxonomy), formed from the genus name 'Ameiurus' (bullhead catfish) plus the Latin suffix '-idae' (indicating a family in biological classification).
Ameiuridae catfish are tough survivors—they can breathe air from their skin and tolerate muddy, low-oxygen water that would kill other fish, making them common in farm ponds and swamps across America.
