Description
I have always liked the little mudskippers you get on the tidal flats, however until we took these pics I have never seen them up close. This one was close to a foot long. They aren't the cutest critters around but definitely worth a few shots .
It was snapped in Cairns NQ AUS.

It looks like a mix between frog and fish. Full size is cool. Thank you for sharing.

Hi, Thanks for the feed back. They are quite funny critters, they actually make a clicking sound too, which is quite weird when you first hear them. I have quite a few pics, some from different angles however none of them really improve their looks :) They use their front fins (I think they are fins?) to drag themselves around. This one would stay out of the water for about 10 minutes or so before sliding back into the small puddles, there were quite a few birds around as well but it was only really worried about the larger ones. They seemed quite happy just lying in the sun.

I should love to see these 'in the flesh'.
