7 fishes that can walk on water

Varnika Srivastava

Mudskippers: These amphibious fish are true masters of land navigation. They can climb trees, hop, and even change color to camouflage themselves.

Walking Catfish: These fish can survive out of water for extended periods, using their modified pectoral fins to "walk" across land.

Climbing Perch: As the name suggests, these fish can climb trees using their spiny gill covers to grip onto surfaces.

Epaulette Shark: This shark can "walk" on the ocean floor using its pectoral fins, allowing it to navigate in shallow, rocky areas.

Snakehead: While not as proficient as others, snakeheads can move on land by wriggling their bodies.

Lungfish: These fish have lungs and can survive out of water for extended periods, but they don't truly "walk."

Cave Angel Fish: These fish, found in caves, have pelvic fins modified for walking on the cave floor.
