Welcome to mudskipper country. 🌿https://youtu.be/CJl_relCddQ
Mudskippers are out there fiercely defending their burrows, slapping rivals with their tails, and launching themselves into the air to impress potential mates. Yes, really.
You won’t want to skip this (pun intended).

Meet your new favorite fish. 🐟
Mudskippers are fish that breathe through their skin, scan the mudflats with periscope eyes, and would rather be flopping around in the mud than -doing normal fish things- swimming like a respectable aquatic vertebrate.
Our latest episode dives into how these little weirdos pull off life on land. Jumping onto Youtube tomorrow…

Psst. 👀 Something's watching…
We've been spending a lot of time staring into muddy little holes lately - let us explain.
The creature peeking out has completely won us over.
It walks. It fights. It leaps. It has fins it uses like legs.
Any guesses? New Deep Look drops Tuesday.

Being a roly poly mom means carrying dozens of babies at once — all protected inside a pouch until they’re ready for the outside world.
It’s an unexpected strategy for such a small, familiar creature.
See how it works in our latest episode, freshly spawned! https://youtu.be/pmLHg_B8uoI

It may look like a simple backyard bug, but the roly poly is anything but ordinary.
These tiny crustaceans (yes, they’re related to shrimp and lobsters) carry their eggs in a fluid-filled pouch, where dozens of babies develop before entering the world.
Watch how this ancient ocean adaptation made its way onto land in our latest episode, out tomorrow.

It curls into a perfect ball when it’s scared — and you’ve probably seen it in your backyard.
This tiny crustacean has something in common with kangaroos. And no, it’s not getting in occasional fist fights with humans.
To find out how roly polies carry their babies, and why it’s one of the strangest parenting strategies in nature, stay tuned for our newest episode, out Tuesday.
