Animal Characteristics
Head-Body Length:10 cm
Identification:The mudskipper is very unique because it has limb-like pectoral fins which make it capable of living both in and out of the water. It also has periscope-like eyes.
Habitat:Mangrove swamps, mud flats, rocky shores
Diet:Carnivore: insects, spiders, small crabs
Reproduction:The timing of the breeding season depends on a population's location. Mudskippers build nests that open above water, but then descend into the water.
Behavior:These fish are territorial. While walking on land, they will often roll in puddles to keep wet.
Status:No special status
Interesting Facts:Mudskippers can walk on land with their leg-like pectoral fins. They are also capable of climbing mangrove trees.
