THIS FISH A GREAT WALKER
n He Pond Goes Dry He Simply Am
bIes Across the Country

Droughts have no terrors for the
climbing perch. II the pool or river
where he makes his home becomes
dry he climbs up the banks and
starts across country to find a wet
place. This ability to travel led to
q belief, once common, that the fish
could climb trees, whence he got his
name-cIimbing perch.
He walks with the aid OF his FMS,
virtually wrigglIng his way along. II
he strikes a place grown up wfih
grass or herbs, he uses his pectoral
fms. which are the ones on either
side. Just behind the gills. He hooks
one Of these fms around q blade Of
grass and pulls himself forward.
Not much speed. but the climbing
perch usually gets there. AS for bis
ability to climb trees, stories have
come from India and the East Indies
to the effect that the ish has been
known to ascend cocoanut palms TO
drink the milk from the cocoanut.

stories. however.
