Credit to mudskippers, who despite their habitat manage to look positively gorgeous in a freeze-frame. In this photo, two amphibious fish appear to watch a third jump. The animals absorb oxygen through the lining in their mouth and throat, but we can appreciate that in this photo it looks as though everyone’s in awe of their friend’s airtime.
