mudskipper
A mudskipper is a type of small amphibious fish that is able to live both in water and on land. They are part of the Gobiidae family and are found in tropical, subtropical, and temperate regions including the Indo-Pacific and Atlantic coast of Africa. Mudskippers are known for their ability to climb, walk, and leap using their pectoral fins, and for their prominent eyes which are located on top of their head. They breathe through their skin and the lining of their mouths and throats while on land. They primarily feed on small prey such as insects, crustaceans, and worms.

Mudskipper
Mudskippers are members of the subfamily Oxudercinae, within the family Gobiidae. They are completely amphibious fish, fish that can use their pectoral fins to walk on land. Being amphibious, they are uniquely adapted to intertidal habitats, unlike most fish in such habitats which survive the retreat of the tide by hiding under wet seaweed or in tidal pools. Mudskippers are quite active when out of water, feeding and interacting with one another, for example to defend their territories. They are found in tropical, subtropical and temperate regions, including the Indo-Pacific and the Atlantic coast of Africa.
