Mudskippers are fish and so they have gills. Once out of water their gills dry out and stick together, so mudskippers have a special cavity behind their ears where sea water is stored. As they move their eyes pressure is applied to that cavity and this reoxygenates the stored water. The gill flaps and restores gills to their normal function.

Skippers, a type of butterfly in the family Hesperiidae, primarily feed on the nectar of flowers. They use their long, slender proboscis to sip nectar, which provides them with sugars and nutrients.

Their feeding habits play a crucial role in pollination, contributing to the ecosystem.
