GIANT MUDSKIPPER
Giant mudskipper are deen in the mangrove swamps in southern Vietnam such as Can Gio, Nhon Trach, Go Cong, Bac Lieu, Ca Mau and Ninh Binh in the north.
It is an amphibian, similar in shape to the star goby, but with rough skin and two large bulging eyes on the tip of the head.
The fish can walk, jump or even climb trees. Based on such moving characteristics, they are called "walking fish".
It is considered one of the six "weirdest" animal species on the planet. It can grow to a length of 27 centimeters. It is most frequently found along muddy shores in estuaries as well as in the tidal zones of rivers.
It lives in a burrow in the mud and emerges from the burrow at low tide on sunny days.
Giant mudskipper eats fiddler crabs, shrimp, and smaller fishes.
