The African Lungfish (Protopterus annectens) lives in flood plains, which can be tricky in drought season, as the water dries up most aquatic species would be in trouble. Luckily, this smart fish has developed a way to breathe even when it is out of the water by secreting a thin, slimy film that it covers itself in. This slime dries into a fragile cocoon that the fish can live in for over a year.
This fish is so weeeeeeeird!
Scary scary fish, cool that it can live out of water, my gold fish can’t do that
if we could breath under water but still could breath air that would be awesome
coooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooool
I have never seen a fish that found a way to cohabitate with mostly dry land before, but I saw a squirrel swimming once.
that is weird :p
kinda weird but cool
