The mudskipper is a special fish, belonging to the genus Mudskipper of the family Gobiidae, which is quite famous. The division of fish can start with the standard of living environment. Some fish live in fresh water, some fish live in sea water, and some fish can adapt to both environments at the same time. Mudskipper is one of the inshore fish species, which means that they live in shallow areas of the sea and generally do not go to the deep sea. Specifically, mudskippers mainly live at the bottom of the sea area, because there are usually more sand or caves for mudskippers to live in.
Mudskipper itself is a warm fish, widely distributed in the warm temperate waters of the Pacific Ocean, such as Japan, Vietnam, Korea and other countries, where the number of mudskipper is relatively large. However, mudskippers do not live in the water all the time, and they sometimes come to the shore. This is because mudskippers have an important characteristic, they can not only use gills as respiratory organs, but also use mouth and skin as respiratory organs, which can enable them to survive normally on the shore, and can also hunt or other life activities on the shore.
can mudskippers stay out of the water? As mentioned above, mudskippers can breathe through their gills, which they use when they are in the water, but they can also breathe through their skin and mouth, which allows them to leave the water and come to the shore. In fact, mudskippers spend most of their lives on the shore. They can easily get some food on the shore. They can live out of water for a long time, sometimes for days or even weeks. The mudskipper is a very special fish compared to other fish that must live in the water.
