Field Notes

Description:

I guess this is some kind of Mudskipper since it preferred land to water. The fish in the spotting was about 5 cm, but I saw some bigger ones as well.

Habitat:

Indian Ocean, they seemed to like the pools formed by the reefs at low tide.

Thank you Venus. I will not be able to check links for quite some time, I am on a very bad internet out in the bush. But I will remember this to later. Have a great day!

Hehe, I love all no matter what but the teacher was someone special...he knows all the crazy adaptations that organisms have so I had a course how animals and plants adapt to their challenging environments :).

It is quite unusual (I think) that you still love things you had to study in school, Faredin! :) Must have been a good teacher! Thank you for comment as well, Maria :)
