Walking fish

Some other modes of non-standard fish locomotion include "walking" along the sea floor, for example, in handfish or frogfish.

Able to spend longer times out of water, these fish may use a number of means of locomotion, including springing, snake-like lateral undulation, and tripod-like walking.

The mudskippers are probably the best land-adapted of contemporary fish and are able to spend days moving about out of water and can even climb mangroves, although to only modest heights.

[2] The epaulette shark (Hemiscyllium ocellatum) tends to live in shallow waters where swimming is difficult, and can often be seen walking over rocks and sand by using its muscular pectoral fins.

[12] A number of fish, both extant and prehistoric, have featured some characteristics related to locomotion that are typical of tetrapods.
