After carefully scanning the telescope, Ao Muyang selected a tidal flat.

He found a large section of plastic hose, cut it into sections with scissors, tied the lower end of the hose, then put down the raft and said, "Let's go, let's go catch the mud monkeys." ”

Zhu Zhu noticed these hoses, and she asked in wonder, "Do you use this to catch mud monkeys? How do you catch them? Do they take the initiative to drill into the pipes like eels?"

Ao Muyang smiled: "You'll know later." ”

Although they have the ability to leave the sea water to go to the flat shallow beach to roam alone, and can even climb the reef, climb the tree or even climb the land to leave the sea water for two or three days, they prefer to dig a hole in the mudflat and hide in the hole to live.

This is important for their survival, as mudskippers have many natural predators, and they prefer to stay on the ground after low tide, where they are at risk of being preyed upon by seabirds and various terrestrial mammals. When the tide is high, many carnivorous fish come to shallow beaches, which are also their natural predators.

Unlike other marine fish, they can't leave the sea, and they go with the tide when the tide rises and falls, and they face some natural predators.

Although mudskippers can live away from the sea for a while, most of them don't do that, it doesn't make much sense, they still like to stay around the nest, so finding their nest is finding their body.

Conventional methods of catching mudskippers are carried out around their nests, such as hand catching, cage fishing and hanging nets.

The little raft flickered to the shore, and the sixth sister carefully searched for it on the mudflat, then pointed to the side and said, "Little pig, look, that's the mud monkey." ”

Zhu Zhu raised his head and looked at it for a while, and said blankly: "Where?

The sixth sister came to her and pointed it out to her, and said, "Look ahead, there is a fish jumping in the muddy water, do you see it? That's a mud monkey, and the two fish over there are both in the muddy water." ”

Under her instructions, Zhu Zhu finally saw it: "That's a mud monkey? That's a mudskipper that can climb trees? I saw it just now, I thought it was a toad in the mud." ”

From a certain point of view, mudskippers really look a bit like toads. Although they have a slender body similar to that of other fish, they prefer to hide in muddy water with only their head or half of their body exposed, and the lower half, especially the tail fin, should be inserted in the water.

This is because mudskippers' gills can store water and slowly absorb oxygen from the water, and their skin, mouth, epidermis, and tail fin can all play a role in aiding breathing, and the tail fin is particularly good.

When mudskippers show half of their bodies, the most striking thing is their pair of eyes, which bulge out from the top of their heads, like beans and toads.

Ao Muyang said: "It's those little toads, they are mud monkeys, let's put them on the tree when we catch them, and let them compete to climb the tree." ”

Zhu Zhu smiled: "That's interesting, I haven't seen a fish that can climb trees." But how are we going to catch it?"

"Scare them, scare them back into their burrows, which have two openings like rabbits' nests, and then seal the back openings with mud, and put the fish cages in the front openings, and they will get into them themselves. Sixth sister said.

Ao Muyang shook his head: "We don't have cages with us, besides, the village is full of big cages, and we can't catch this fish, you look at me, I use this hose to catch it." ”

When the boat docked, they found that there were quite a few mudskippers on the mudflats.

Most of these fish are very active, sometimes their heads suddenly become larger, and sometimes they arch their backs and twist their bodies with their tail fins erected.

There are also some fish lying quietly in the puddle, with only half of their bodies exposed.

Looking at it up close, Zhu Zhu said: "They don't look like toads, they are a bit like salamanders." But salamanders don't get bigger or smaller like that, what are they doing?"

Ao Muyang said: "Courtship, those who twist their bodies to show themselves are male fish, and those who do not move are female fish, and male fish use provocative actions to lure female fish. ”

"It's like a male peacock opening the screen to attract a female peacock?" Zhu Zhu asked.

Ao Muyang was about to nod yes, but the sixth sister sneered: "Licking the dog has nothing in the end, and licking the dog never ends well." ”

"Why are you so bitter and hateful?" Lu Zhizi asked with a smile.

The sixth sister still respects her very much, she pursed her lips and said, "I feel it." ”

Ao Muyang said: "Okay, don't talk about these useless, let's prepare to catch mudskippers, I'll teach you how to get it, let's have a roundabout strategy, go ashore and go into the woods, and then go to find a cave on the tidal flat, and stuff this plastic pipe into it after finding the cave, it's very simple, understand?"

Lu Zhizi nodded and said, "Later, you will drive them away, they will burrow into their burrows when they are frightened, and they will eventually burrow into plastic pipes, right?"

"Clever. Ao Muyang snapped his fingers.

Zhu Zhu smiled again: "I also understand, this is a tanuki for the prince." ”

The mudskippers were scattered along the beach mud, and as soon as the raft reached the beach, several fish were frightened into the hole.

Some of their burrows are above the tide line, so mudskippers have to leave the water completely to crawl on the shore in order to get in.

When Zhu Zhu saw them coming out of the sea, he hurriedly said, "Let's go to the shore to catch fish, so ......"

She had only said half a sentence when several mudskippers had already whizzed into the cave at a rapid speed!

Zhu Zhu was dumbfounded: "Is this a mud monkey or a salamander? It's running too fast, right?"

Ao Muyang said: "They run fast and can jump, in addition, you must pay attention to their vision is very good, be careful, don't let them find us." ”

The eyes of mudskippers are very flexible, they have no eyelids and only two large eye sockets, the eyeballs can bulge out of the eye sockets or retract into the eye sockets, like two balls, and can rotate 360 degrees.

The tidal flats were muddy, Zhu Zhu wanted to go down directly, but Ao Muyang grabbed her and said, "Don't, be careful to sink in, let the Führer go down to the mines first." ”

The Führer, Youfu, and the Wolf Wolf were all on the raft, and they had been on the boat for a day, and they were already feeling aggrieved.

Without Lao Ao's orders, as soon as the raft stopped, they jumped. And they also saw mudskippers, which run like rats and are attractive to both cats and dogs.

After a few bear children jumped off the boat, they wanted to chase the mudskipper, but the wolf was the fastest, and it was half a cut short for the first time after jumping up, and its four long legs were gone!

Immediately after that, the wolf and the general were short, and they all suddenly became half shorter after only a few pops.

The three long-legged bear children were stunned, and they looked at each other to find that they were still in the same dimension, which made them breathe a sigh of relief.

Then they looked back, only to see that the Führer and Youfu, who had looked down in the past, were also in the same dimension as them......
