Title: Amazing Mudskippers

Amazing Mudskippers
  • By Reed Chen

Introduction
  • Have you ever seen a fish crawling across the
    shore and climbing up trees? Mudskippers can do
    that! Let me tell you about these interesting
    creatures habitat, look and much, much more!

3
Habitat
  • Mudskippers mostly live on land. They live in
    swampy areas like the Mangrove swamps. They also
    live in shallow water, Indian and the Pacific
    oceans and the mud flats of Asia and Africa.

4
How They Look
  • Mudskippers look very weird. They are 8 inches
    long or 20 centimeters long and are olive brown
    with blueish markings. They also have bulging
    eyes and a froglike appearance.

5
How They Move
  • Did you know that mudskippers can move very
    fast? They use their pectoral fins to crawl and
    their tail to flick them across shore. It also
    uses it to leap into the air. It uses its pelvic
    fins to support their weight and to form suckers
    to climb vertical surfaces like trees.

6
Adaptations
  • Some mudskippers can stay on land for two and a
    half days! How? They suck up water in their gill
    sacks behind the gills before going on land.
    After a while they will need to go back for a
    refill. They could also breath through skin if
    theyre wet.

7
Conclusion
  • After reading this report dont you think
    mudskippers are very weird creatures? I hope you
    learned a lot about mudskippers.
