skokunica Explanation: The fish that I saw are called mudskippers. Among their unusual attributes are their eyes, which pop out of their head and then retract. Another feature is their pectoral fins, which the mudskipper uses to propel itself over mud—much like a human can use crutches to move around. But how does a mudskipper jump? This unusual fish can flick itself forward with its tail, projecting itself as much as two feet [60 cm] through the air. Mudskippers are also accomplished civil engineers, using their fins as shovels to build burrows in the mud. Riba koju sam vidio zove se skokunica. Jedna od njenih neobičnih karakteristika jesu njene oči, koje može izbuljiti i potom ih ponovo uvući. Jedna druga specifična karakteristika ribe skokunice jesu prsne peraje, koje koristi za kretanje po mulju — slično kao što čovjek može koristiti štake pri hodu. No kako skokunica skače? Ova neobična riba može se odbacivati repom, skačući udalj i do 60 centimetara. Skokunice su također vješti građevinari, koji koriste svoje peraje kao lopate da bi u mulju sagradili nastambe. Skokunica ima prirodni spremnik za kisik — svoja usta i škržne šupljine, koje su pune vode dok riba ”pliva“ na suhom. Kad potroši kisik iz svog ”spremnika“, ”skoknut“ će do bare da bi ga ponovo napunila. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 day5 hrs (2013-01-12 15:36:42 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- skokunica zool.
