"Have a good relation with the mudskippers, I have"
I like how we’re making fun of mudskippers for their goofy behaviors, yet deep down we all agree that they are cool as hell
When I was a kid I saw some mudskippers at an aquarium and I liked them so much that I asked my dad if I could have them and he was weirdly supportive of it and actually asked a nearby pet store if they had any
I wouldn't advise keeping mudskippers, unless you are very experienced in keeping fish. Mudskippers are delicate and very sensitive to environmental conditions, and they have very different needs to other fish, due to being mostly terrestrial.
It is quite possible to keep them, but they are best left for the experts.
@@fubberpish3614 well they need their daily walks on the mud 😅🤣🤣🤣
@@Lilly-hh9es "I can't go out right now, I have to take my fish for a walk"
I had a buddy in elementary school that had all sorts or strange animals including snakes, spiders and fish. He had two Mud Skippers and one time while I was staying the night we went into the kitchen to get a snack late one night and found both of them on the floor lol. They had jumped out of their enclosure and were just chilling on his floor. I remember being startled but intrigued 🤣 good times. Ended up getting a tarantula from him and named him Max.

Can you imagine this was what some of our oldest grandparents used to look like some 400 million years ago? These creatures are truly like living fossils and need to be respected.
the lobe finned fish that evolved into tetrapods looked different than mudskippers.
@@eggrollsoup yes but the main point is, this is modern day version of that fish ancestor all of us land animals share in common. Pretty fascinating imagining that fish ancestor while watching this video.
@@jesmasa1 no it’s not, also it’s not even closely related to out ancestral fish
@@eggrollsoup
You are correct of course!
But i think you can also make a fair point that these creatures are a modern day analog to the fish that would become tetrapods, in such a way that the concept of "fish leaving the water and living on land" is not ridiculous because there are still fish today living in the amphibious state!
But yes, these fish lack essential features that the pre-tetrapods had like proto-fingered digits, lungs, nose/nostrils, shoulder joints, and many other features.
But i love animals like this because it contradicts the "implausibilities" that creationists try to argue about.
"Really? Fish that walk and thrive on land?"
"Why yes, in fact there are still fish that do this lol"
Of course lungfish are more closely related to us and are actually in the clade of "lob-bones fish" just like we are!
Im rambling!
@@saxoman1 Yes because mudskippers are ray finned fish, hundreds of million years ago lobe finned fish were a lot more common. The fish that tetrapods descended from are like cousins with the lung fish we have today.
Crabs in the background looking at the mudskippers: 👁👄👁
the little guy looked cute until he started PUKING MUD
It was never cute stop

Happy lonely san Valentine day
hmu I'm right here what's up?
Then migrate under the sea inside a pineapple. It'll work out
Very hard
I saw these little guys on a visit to the mangroves in Queensland, Australia. I did see them rolling over in the mud and yes, it was my assumption that they were doing that to keep themselves moist. To me, it reminds me of a dog rolling over when he/she is trying to please it's owner.
oh yes, they're quite common here in Queensland. they're quite fun to watch, I once even saw a pair of Pug-Headed Mudskippers (one of the larger species) fighting over territory.
Must have been amazing to watch.

Remember watching this documentry as a kid. Its still so satisfying and the nostalgia hits hard
If we’d discovered these guys a few dozen million years into the future, they might have evolved legs and lungs, and we might’ve misidentified them as a type of basal amphibian. Our own ancestors might’ve lived a very similar lifestyle to these guys, pretty cool.
Maybe maybe not it totally depends on the environment they would still stay like this
Evolution is not real. And even if it was that's not even how it the theory works. Fish don't just simply "evolve" into amphibians like it's some kind of linear progression. If that were the case there wouldn't be any fish anymore because they would all be amphibians by now 😂
They already have lungs actually
Lungs evolved before swimming bladders
Swimming bladders in fish are actually modified lungs
In low oxygen water you might find fish go to the surface to swallow some air
They do have lungs, AKA swim bladders
Most fish use them for bouyancy control rather than breathing, but in fish that live brackish low oxigen water they often can do both
Musskippers have a long way to go before being more than amphibious and our current tetrapods will certainly mirk them if they try but if all living tetrapods were to go extinct and muskippers survive somehow they might actually go all the way
they’d need to have the necessary evolutionary pressure to become more like modern day amphibians. The issue is that the land niches are already filled so these guys may not ever take on the role our tetrapod ancestors did.
“It lives in Japan”
Ah makes sense now
I thought it lived in Africa
