Mudskippers in Awe!

Two mudskippers face off on wet mud, mouths agape and fins raised in a territorial display, their blue-spotted patterns catching the light. A vivid glimpse of the tidal flats of the Sundarbans – the world’s largest contiguous mangrove forest – where these fish walk, jump and breathe on land.

💁🏻‍♀️ ICYMI: 🐟🌊 Amphibious #mudskippers can walk on land, recognize individual #humans, and engineer J-shaped #underground burrows. But because they thrive in complex intertidal zones, recreating their #environment at home – and getting them to successfully breed in captivity – is a massive challenge.

To try and crack the code, Ben Newell of Worcester Terrariums built a custom tidal setup in his spare bedroom, attempting to safely introduce his resident dwarf Indian mudskipper, Trenchfoot, to a potential new partner named Doughboy.

Who doesn’t adore #mudskippers? Love these cheeky little fellas. In the mangrove mudflats around Derby, Western Australia

Whenever I see #mudskippers I think of the tribbets from Serina, which is probably my favorite #specevo project. Maybe given enough time and a vacuum on land they could achieve tripod locomotion of some sort.
