Since Darwin's "Theory of Evolution" was proposed, everyone has learned that all living things on the earth will change with the change of time and living environment. Because only by constantly adapting to the environment can it be possible to live well in this world and not be eliminated by nature. What I want to introduce to you today is such a species that changes its living environment in order to survive.
<h1 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" > interesting evolution</h1>
Everyone should know that all living things on the earth originated from the unfathomable sea, and after hundreds of millions of years of shifting stars and mountains and rivers, they can evolve and become birds flying in the sky, beasts running on the ground, and fish that continue to stay in the water. Just like whales have to degenerate their limbs into fins in order to adapt to life in the sea, they grow gills that can breathe in the water.
However, not all living things are willing to change themselves in order to enter the sea, and there are many sea creatures that work tirelessly day after day to come to land.
It is the mudskipper, a fish that strives to one day come ashore to live.
People who live by the sea all year round may not be unfamiliar with it, this fish is not large, from the appearance, the surface skin is smooth, light gray, and loach has similarities, but the mudskipper's pectoral fin is unusually developed, playing the same role as the arm, can help it cling to the trunk when climbing the tree, and its vision is also extremely sharp, you can find food in one eye while using the other eye to defend against predators, can be described as a kind of kung fu fish.
However, although mudskippers belong to the fish family, they are not good at swimming, but good at jumping, and they do not often live in the water, but like to jump to the shore beach or move in trees.
So why can mudskippers get out of water and come to live on land?
It turns out that after many years of evolution, mudskippers have grown body structures that other fish do not have, such as gill cavities that can store water and skin that can breathe.
Ordinary fish can not do without water because they can not breathe without water, and the gill cavity in the body of the mudskipper can store a certain amount of water to ensure that they can breathe normally on the shore, and at the same time, the skin like a frog can also ensure their breathing.
Of course, as a fish, mudskippers can not live completely out of the water, it still retains many of the characteristics of fish, that is, must live in a humid environment, in general, the shallow mudflats along the estuary are their best habitat. In order to be able to move freely on land, the pectoral fins and tail fins of mudskippers have also evolved to varying degrees, but they also have a cute feature, that is, once they reach the mating period, they will become pink and tender to attract the opposite sex to mate, but at the same time, they also greatly expose their tracks.
Mudskippers have gone through great hardships to get ashore, mainly to escape persecution from natural enemies in the water, but who knows, after working hard for 300 million years to successfully land, they encountered more terrible creatures on land.

Mudskippers are very agile fish, often when you are 1 to 2 meters away from it, they will quickly escape.
However, animals are always animals, and for intelligent humans, their careful thinking is not worth mentioning, so the mudskippers, who have finally landed on land after all kinds of hardships, unfortunately jumped into the pockets of Chinese.
As we all know, in the eyes of Chinese, there is only unpalatable, and there is nothing that cannot be eaten. Because in the coastal areas of our country, the taste of mudskipper fish has been unanimously praised: really fragrant! So mudskippers quickly went to the international market and made a good call. As a result, the delicious bomb-coated meat soon spread to the tables of countries such as steaming, braising, and frying in various forms such as steaming, braising, and frying.
So the question is, if we continue to catch wild mudskippers uncontrolled, then one day, we will have no fish to catch and no fish to eat. As a result, people in coastal areas began to artificially breed mudskippers. To meet the needs of the majority of consumers. However, due to the large number of Chinese and the increasing environmental pollution, China's beach areas are decreasing at a rate visible to the naked eye, so the number of mudskippers in the wild or artificially farmed is decreasing.
In contrast, the Protection of the Japanese is much better than we are. They not only planned the fishing period, but also formulated a fishing system and carried out scientific management of the cultivation and growth of mudskippers. It not only ensures people's fish-eating needs but also effectively protects mudskippers. Let the mudskipper not lead to the extinction of the species due to the large consumption of humans.
<h1 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" > "raw fish" is difficult</h1>
In this way, the industrious and brave mudskipper jumped from one dangerous situation to another, but all this is like our lives. Just like mudskippers, many people will want to get rid of their original lives and go to another environment to seek happiness and security because of their original families, however, none of us will know how many hardships and hardships are waiting for us in the so-called other environment.
But despite this, we still have to continue to work hard, because going out is not necessarily a beautiful world, but if you don't go out, you will definitely not see the sun.
Here, you have to lament the great wisdom of the mudskipper, rather than quietly dying in the bottomless deep sea, or being destroyed by powerful predators, it is better to try to change your fate by changing your life environment. Although mudskippers are not lucky, as soon as they land on the shore, they enter the soup pot of humans, but the powerful humans will use various scientific means to ensure their life and allow them to reproduce for a longer time.
Life will never go your way, it will never go as anyone wants, it's like a wayward little kid arranging everyone's life at will. In the face of a strong life, each of us is weak like an ant, and there is no strength to compete with it. The only thing we can do is to see the tricks and never give in. There are thousands of biological species in nature, everyone is working hard in their respective fields, the so-called "natural selection, survival of the fittest", after a day, a month, a month, a year of screening and renewal, and finally left, is really able to be accepted by this society and even nature. Those species that adapt quickly and can adjust their physical structure in time according to changes in the environment can survive. And those who can't adapt to it can only leave quietly.
It may seem to us that mudskippers are pitiful, have paid so much, but still have not lived a good and happy life, but for the mudskippers, their ancestors, that is, the fish that first had the idea of going ashore, were great. Because of its boldness, it has won the opportunity for the mudskipper family to survive.
And the story of the mudskipper also tells us: we were born with nothing, the only thing left is the full of blood and courage brought from the womb, we lightly packed and fought hard, and eventually we will fight for ourselves with a golden armor to protect this fleshly mortal fetus.
