The Catfish is the animal that has the most taste buds with more than 175,000 taste buds in it's body with 175,000 of those taste buds being in it's whiskers alone.

Catfish have around 180,000 to 200,000 taste buds in it's body.

The catfish has 175,000 taste buds in it's whiskers alone.

The animal that has taste buds all over it's body is the Catfish.

A Catfish has the ability to taste anything with it's entire body but mostly the catfish tastes with it's mouth where it also has taste buds.

The Catfish also uses it's whiskers to taste and feel.

The reason catfish are called catfish is because of the whiskers it has on it's face like a cat does.

The catfish has taste buds in it's whiskers as well and the whiskers of a catfish have more than 175,000 taste sensitive cells.

A human only has up to 10,000 taste buds in our entire bodies so the catfish has the most taste buds.
