jom kenal

do you know what is that? it is a fish. a mudskipper. off course we dont eat this fish. i took this picture at the muddy muar river bank. the malays call it ikan belacak and more famous as ikan tembakul. there's a movie about this fish. batu belah batu bertangkup. cerita sedih la....mudskipper is a primitive fish acccording to the biologist it is an in between creature. it is an amphibian (amphibious fish)just like the frog heheee...meaning it can breathe through their skin and gills either way depending on the situation in the water or out of water.
