Pseudapocryptes elongatus is a fish from the goby family. It lives in muddy places and can come ashore, where it breathes air through its skin.
Pseudapocryptes elongatus differs from other mudskippers by its more elongated body. It is important for nature because it mixes silt, helps with the circulation of substances and serves as food for birds and crabs.
Legendary longevity: over 100 years. Galapagos tortoises, Greenland sharks, ocean quahogs celebrate with family once every 4 years
