The body covering of a mudskipper consists of scales that are typically smooth and mucous-covered, which help in reducing water loss as they often spend time out of water. Their skin is also capable of absorbing oxygen, allowing them to breathe while on land. Additionally, the scales provide some protection against the environment and predators. This unique adaptation helps mudskippers thrive in their intertidal habitats.
