Auchenipteridae
= ( ow ken ip TARE id dee ) 
Contains some of the more secretive members of the Siluriformes.
This family is the only one to undergo internal insemination and
fertilisation. Known as Driftwood or Wood Cats owing
to their habit of hiding in hollow logs during the day.
Confused sometimes with the members of the Doradidae family but
lack the lateral bony scutes.
