Animal Planet announced many shows that are returning this season, including River Monsters.
This week’s episode on Sunday is about the Sobra Santos. In the episode, we see an overcrowded ship that sank at an inopportune time. The ship went down near a fish processing plant that attracted a hungry and vicious type of catfish. Some 200 people were killed, and many body parts of victims were missing. In the episode, it is revealed that catfish have fed on human remains.
According to the Associated Press, Host Jeremy Wade said, "We will never know for sure. What we're looking into is all the possibilities, what could have happened to all of the people."
In the episdoe, Wade searches through the dangerous waters of the Amazon where he found toothy piranha and candiru. River Monsters is Animal Planet’s most popular series. According to TV By the Numbers, other shows slated to return this season include Puppy Bowl and Bulls & Parolees.
River Monsters begins its sixth season Sunday at 9PM.
