The Catfish is the animal that has the highest sense of taste.

The Catfish is a fish that has whiskers like a cat which is why the Catfish is called a Catfish.

The Catfish can use it's whiskers for tasting because the whiskers of the catfish have taste buds in them as well as the rest of it's body.

When it comes to the animal with the most taste buds the Catfish is also the animal who has the most taste buds.

In the Catfish whiskers alone there are around 175,000 taste buds and even more in the rest of the catfishes body.

A human has around 10,000 taste buds while a catfish has nearly 200,000 taste buds.

No other animal is currently known to have more taste buds or a higher sense of taste than a catfish.

There may be but as far as we know right now there aren't any.
