The mud skipper, or bommi, ac-
tually spends most of its time on
land. These strange creatures are
found in Asia, Africa and Austria
liza. They stay in the water only
when breeding; once matured, they
live on the warm sand, or even climb
the mangrove trees. Their breast
fins are almost arms, the extrem-
tiles having webbed fingers which
facilitate walking and climbing. The
fish's prominent eyes are set high on
the head and can focus in almost
any direction.
