Project Noah Nature School
Periophthalmodon schlosseri
It is most frequently found along muddy shores in estuaries. It lives in a burrow in the mud and emerges from the burrow at low tide on sunny days. It can move quickly across a muddy surface and is capable of breathing both in and out of water. The giant mudskipper can grow to be 27 centimeters long.
They are particularly abundant in mangroves and muddy shores, but are also seen on rocky shores and near reefs.
