Thank you for choose my spotting on "Fun fact".
And thank you for nice comments Mayra, EnvUnlimited and Sergio!
Beautiful photos, Toshimi. These fishes were always among my favorites!
Fun fact! Mudskippers are completely amphibious fish, and use their pectoral fins to “walk” on land. They are also able to catapult themselves up to 2 feet into the air by also flipping their muscular bodies. By retaining a bubble of air in its enlarged gill chambers and breathing through the pores of its wet skin, the mudskipper is able to survive out of water in moist habitats.
