They can breathe through their skin, mouth and throat, but only when they are wet. That is why they are only found in humid areas. This is called cutaneous air breathing.

Another is their big gill chambers so air bubbles are retained. The flaps close to keep the air in and they then use the air to breathe out of water.

Mudskippers can breath out of the water through a special lining on their skin and in their mouths and throats.
