Fish (Happily) Out of Water

Natalie R. -- A new fish has been discovered, the Pacific Leaping Blenny. These fish have been found living outside of water. They still need water to live, so they have to live right next to the water, but they can remain outside the water as long as they have some water inside them. These “walking fish” are very capable outside of the water; they can still
mate and do the things they need to do to survive. But when they completely dry up, they can no longer breathe and would suffocate.

A walking fish is awesome. Though it isn’t completely a fish out of water, it can partially live on land. I think that it is a new step towards new species. This fish shows us that we and all other animals are still constantly evolving. We are always moving forward so our species can survive and live on.
