Mudskippers adapt to their unique environments through a variety of physiological and behavioral traits. They have specialized gills that can extract oxygen from water as well as the ability to breathe through their skin when on land. Their pectoral fins are adapted to function like legs, enabling them to walk on land and navigate mudflats. Additionally, they have developed a unique ability to retain moisture in their bodies, allowing them to survive in harsh, intertidal habitats.
