Some fish can walk on land

Some fish can walk on land

Mudskippers hop across mudflats on strong pectoral fins, breathing through skin and mouth lining when the tide leaves them high and dry.

They dig burrows, defend territories, and hunt insects — fish that treat the shoreline as a second habitat.

Land walking is a commute, not a metaphor. Evolution kept the gills and added a sidewalk.
