Take a Walk with the Fish

[guppyguy]

A walking catfish was among 126 species discovered in the incredibly diverse Greater Mekong region of Southeast Asia. The walking catfish doesn't exactly walk. But the fish (Clarias gracilentus) can impressively wiggle across dry land like a snake while using its pectoral fins to push itself upright. The fish, discovered in streams on the Vietnamese island of Phu Quoc, often lives in stagnant waters. When these pools dry up, it can walk away to a wetter home. Who knew eh. Fish continue to amaze me.
