Instant Fish: Just Add Water | Salamanderfish

Salamanderfish are unique fish found in ephemeral pools in southwest WA. They survive dry seasons by burrowing into sand and entering estivation, a dormant state. Their adaptations include wedge-shaped skulls and the ability to breathe through their skin. Despite living in acidic, temperature-fluctuating water, they have thrived for millions of years. However, climate change threatens their habitat, necessitating conservation efforts.
