About

Scartelaos histophorus, commonly known as the walking goby, is a species of fish in the family Oxudercidae. This species is notable for its unique ability to "walk" on land, using its pectoral fins to propel itself forwards. Walking gobies are typically found in shallow coastal waters, such as mudflats, estuaries, and mangrove areas, in the Indo-Pacific region.
