Should be titled "How a mudskipper finds a mate". 🙂
Here is the conversation with a regular trout, " So dude, I swim, I skip on land and sea, can climb a tree if need be. And what you got to say?" Trout: " You got some skills dude, for real." 😊

You block comments about the decline of religion, YET you allow the promotion of old fairy tales – in comments.
Why??? Is Sir David OK with your policy? I will write to him and some other British famous intellectuals about it.
thats more of a blitz attack than a duel, imo..🎵muddy mudskipper🎵
I ever seen this jumping Mudskipper when I was a kid
Jesus walked on water. That fish walks on water. So we can logically conclude that fish is Jesus.
They even scream while fighting.
Thank you for this beautiful video, BBC ! To continue protecting this rich natural environment of mudflats and mangroves, I ask for everyone's support.
What kind of fish climb on tree 🤣🤣

Wow, very interesting ❤
Oh… love 🥰
انها حرباء🤣🤣🤣
Aren't mudskippers actually amphibians rather than fish (although I noticed the fins here)– more closely related to salamanders? Do mudskippers have gills? Okay just looked it up: they do. They can stay long periods online by storing oxygen in their gill chambers.

When I first saw one on a beach here in the Philippines while in high school, after reading about them from a book about island life that my parents gave me, I was thrilled.

Subtle use of Pirates of the Caribbean music during the skip sequence, that's awesome.
So many sites, so many beautiful creatures, this truly is the only thing I am happy about the Internet for. Alas, I will never see such beauty in person, but I can live vicariously! Thank you!!!
