No There Are Plenty Around
Mudskippers are not currently considered endangered species. They are a group of fish that are well adapted to living in intertidal habitats and are not facing significant population declines that would warrant being classified as endangered. However, they may be vulnerable to habitat destruction and pollution in some areas.
Mudskippers got their name because they like to walk on mud and land. Mudskippers are amphibious fish. Mudskippers can be found in tropical and subtropical areas.

Yes, mudskippers have a mutualistic relationship with the burrowing mud shrimp. The shrimp creates burrows that the mudskippers use for protection during low tide, and in return, the mudskippers keep the burrows well-aerated and free of debris, benefiting both organisms.
The scientific name for a mudskipper is Periophthalmus barbarus or Periophthalmus koeleuteri.

Mudskippers do not hibernate in the traditional sense like some other animals. Instead, they exhibit a behavior called estivation, where they enter a state of dormancy during extremely dry conditions or when their habitat becomes inhospitable. During estivation, mudskippers can burrow into mud and slow their metabolic rate until conditions improve. This adaptation helps them survive in fluctuating environments.
