In addition to the story, Lamit has included factual information about mushrooms, beavers, flying fish, mudskippers, and walking catfish, to educate as well as entertain. |
He cites the walking catfish, climbing perch, and mudskippers as other examples. |
To see above and below the water, mudskippers pop their movable eyes out of the water and move them up and down like a submarine periscope. |
Before climbing out onto land, mudskippers fill their over-sized gill chambers with water, creating an oxygen tank that allows them to breathe out of water. |
As well as the crabs, there will be other animals typically found in mangrove habitats, such as mudskippers and four-eyed fish. |
The nesting burrows that some mudskippers build are funnel-shaped, with a wall at the entrance to keep a pool of water over the top during low tides. |
