The common mudskipper (Periophthalmus kalolo) is a species of mudskipper native to marine and brackish waters of the Indo-Pacific from eastern Africa to Samoa.This species can be found in mangrove forests where it spends most of its time out of the water.
During warmer seasons, it is typically active outside of its burrow during low tide. [2] It is an obligate air-breather and is capable of drowning without sufficient access to air, so it spends much of its life on land.
