Peces del fango

The video explores the unique characteristics of mudfish, which live in the intertidal zone. Unlike typical fish, mudfish can walk on land using their pectoral fins and jump in the mud. They breathe through gills in water and absorb oxygen through their skin on land. Mudfish reproduce by laying eggs in tunnels, ensuring oxygen supply for development. As they mature, they gain the ability to walk on land.
