- Making their home in the Indo-Pacific seas 🌊, mudskippers are entirely unique creatures. There are twenty-four species of this amphibious fish, including the blue- and gold-spotted varieties, and all of them have adapted to live on land. ↠Subscribe: th-cam.com/users/TerraMaterO...
But what exactly does a fish look like out of water? And what special features enable it to enjoy this unusual lifestyle? Our latest video dives into the tropical mudflats and mangroves to explore and discover how these bizarre-looking creatures have evolved to survive.

Other fish : we cant sunbath
Mudskipper: hold my mud
hahaha. 😄
@@terramater what about lungfish?
@@rajishkhatri9639 Ye...Lung fish, arapima, and probably even more fish species can breathe air, I mean swimbladders evolved from Lungs as during the Devonian period literally most fish had lungs due to lack of oxygen. Fish having lungs isnt a first time
1 million years later mudskippers be like : we have legs
Probably not. These fish fill a very specific niche that they are specialized for. Unless there is a major change to the ecosystem that may cause animals that fill certain niches (in which it is beneficial to have fully formed legs) to go extinct then I don't see these animals evolving in that way. They have no reason to. There are already animals that currently fill that spot.
@@forlorn9134 well if all Land animals (except insects and arachnids) became extinct I could see Mudskippers evolving to adapt for a completely new lifestyle on land
Other fish: 🌊🐟
Mudskippers: "In case you haven’t noticed, I'm weird. I’m a weirdo. I don't fit in. And I don't want to fit in. Have you ever seen me not running out of the water? That's weird."
I saw your ad, i came here and got fascinated.
Great that you are here now! 🤗
Same here!
@@uttamkoirala Welcome aboard! 😊
Why is this? Nvm.
So, mosquitoes won't leave even the fish, if they come out of water @1:13
3:06 that was a good laugh
Kiss of Death…or, falling off of sticc
* *evolution flashbacks* *
3:08 lol...!!
😆
1:07😂
2nd fish : hey i need to talk to u
1st fish : f**k off
2nd fish : that was rude
😂😂
also see 3:07
🤣
0:32 mudskippers the only fish that can live out of water
Lungfish : whatttt 🤨
Being able to breath air doesn't mean a fish can live out of water.
@@ChewyChicken589
mudskippers can live few days without water
Lungfish up to a year
🤣
@@thegreatneess I have been educated. I thought lung fish were just like giant bettas.
1:12 poor fellow
Ouch! 🙈
I judge a creature such like fish by its ability to climb a tree root 🤣 even jump and breath 😂
In Borneo we called it TEM"BA"KOL
Thanks for sharing your knowledge!
Is it edible ?
I never thought you could be this much good. Perfect job. I can watch such documentaries without going to sleep all day😅
Wow, thank you! 🤗

WOAH!
Terra Mater, it has been Seven Months!
Congratulations, for me you've grown so much! I like it!
Amazing video !
Thanks! :)
This is gonna be landanimals 2.0
BEAUTIFUL!!!!!
Thank you!!
Soon they are gonna be watching us in museums
they look cute and funny
Indeed!
What about their respiratory organs along with cutaneous respiration are they lungs or gills
Hi Satyarth 👋🏻,
Good question!
As well as breathing through their gills while in water on land, mudskippers can absorb oxygen directly from the air; through their skin and through the lining of their mouth - which is why they are often seen ‘gulping’ air.
@@terramater paying attention to viewers such a good people you are
@@terramater thank you
@@greentellus5458 You're welcome!
I love this channel so much 🤗🥰
great effort bro.
Thank you!
hope your channel grows
Hopefully soon! :)
Even with this video, people will still deny evolution
Yeah right?? As far as I know this is probably exactly how life evolved to live on land, it’s observable today. But watch creationists come up with a weird “explanation”
3:08 *Mufasa and Scar flashback intensifies*
Evolution is continous
hi i am new here and i loved your channel and all the topics you present ! please make documentary about Pakistan , the mother land has a lot to discover !
Great that you are here! :-)
I love your video
Thanks for supporting our channel!
That was us, once, skipping through the mud
Cuteew. Very cute🥰🥰😂
They're really special and also cute, yes. :)
Wait is that mudkip in Pokémon (real life version)
haha. 😆
Amazing humans
Are they kind of lung fishes..??
If not will you plz make a video on them too, TeraMater??
Thanks for the great idea!
I saw your add while watching coyote getting bited by a toe biter
How did the coyote story end? 😮
wow. Im Shocked
It's Awesome
Thanks!
looks like cross between frog and fish
Do they feed on algae other than small insects
It depends on the species. Some mudskipper species eat algae that grow on mangrove roots; others eat insects, worms and small crustaceans that live in the river mud.
In South Borneo people often use its name for naming school group projects (making fun of it).. since it's pronounced like
TEAM PA COOL here
Mudskippers make me irrationally happy 😁
I feel like there use to be secret bipedal apes long before the dinosaurs and as soon as fish stepped out of water, they all died. Then these fish evolved in countless ways to eventually become the hip new bipedal apes of today who are now spending their time looking at fish stepping out of water.
What do they eat?🤔
They also have suction cups on their chests to cling to trees. Or, as ZeFrank would say- "Sticky nipples!"
Omg!!! Incredible, Eagles, Hawks other Birds and Fish will find Mud Skippers EASY PREY... 👍🏾👊🏾✌🏾🇳🇬🇺🇸
it makes me remember pokemon mudkip haha
If given the chance, like the extinction of the major land, sea, and winged tetrapods, do you think mudskippers would evolve to take their place?
It’s possible, but like any form of speculative evolution of that scale all we can do is guess
this video has 2,660 views it's not enough more people need to see this
Thank you 😊 and please help us spread the word!
@@terramater no prob ily
I want to hug one
It is our ancestor
Not directly, but they give us a look into what our ancestors probably looked like and how they conquered the land
looks like tadpoles of frogs evolved in something elae
🐸❤️🐟
Is this how life went from water to land?
'Walking' fish really help scientists to understand how we left the ocean, so you're guessing right! 🌊
Their heads look almost toad like.
1:12 annoying mosquito 🦟
I saw your ad
😲 I'm no longer sure what a fish is.
I will call it frog of the sea from now
What do they eat?
Good question!
They're omnivores and prefer to eat worms, crickets, flies, meal worms, beetles, small fish, and small crustaceans. 🦟
@@terramater ic, thank you for the answer, so that's what they graze hmmm
It's like in between a frog and a fish
i just know about nomadic mudskipper
There are 32 living species of mudskipper. :)
Personally, I think these creatures (along with lungfish) are different enough from actual fish that they deserve their own kind of grouping - not quite fish anymore, but not quite amphibian either. But something else that bridges the gap in evolution.
When fish climbs trees
Everyone likes mudskip!
You are the one of top most biological channel in the planet
They are absolutely one step from being a frog
Do you like mudskippers?
I wonder what they taste like
Hey ready people the fishes are coming to say hi
magikarp used splash
poggers fish
They are much more like frogs
While jumping & skipping across tidal mud flats, some of them really look like 🐸.
golden gremlin brought me here
So I heard you like Mudskippers.
"that children is how dinosaur are from" UwU👌🏻
Why are they even called fish when they run away from water ,
Can’t...
Their ability to live without water is more exclusive than ability to walk, no?
How about that ugly fish with protruding gills?
They are the fish late bloomers for evolution into reptiles l😑😑😂😂
me through out this whole video
what that mouth do tho??
Not an average fish though! 😁
Wondering why this channel still has such low number of subscribers ! 🤔
Chinese please leave this beautiful creatures...
atheist be like: hey look my grandpa
