00:39:55,660 --> 00:39:57,562
are up against the clock.
355
00:40:02,667 --> 00:40:04,869
First order of the
day, nutrition.
356
00:40:07,405 --> 00:40:09,807
Some algal scum for
breakfast, perhaps?
357
00:40:14,479 --> 00:40:16,414
Maggots are
delicious, of course.
358
00:40:18,783 --> 00:40:21,786
But detritus left from
the receding waters
359
00:40:21,920 --> 00:40:23,688
is always number one.
360
00:40:25,823 --> 00:40:26,457
Time out!
361
00:40:28,393 --> 00:40:29,727
Must oxygenate!
362
00:40:34,732 --> 00:40:37,368
As much as mudskippers
love life on land,
363
00:40:39,270 --> 00:40:41,906
their respiratory gear
has to work overtime
364
00:40:42,040 --> 00:40:43,274
to keep them alive.
365
00:40:45,677 --> 00:40:49,714
Bimodal breathers, they take in
air through their moist skin
366
00:40:50,948 --> 00:40:55,019
and hold onto oxygen-rich water
in their puffed-up gills.
367
00:40:56,387 --> 00:40:58,423
Like portable oxygen tanks.
368
00:41:01,025 --> 00:41:04,595
One mouthful of water
lasts about six minutes.
369
00:41:06,831 --> 00:41:09,867
Access to a plunge pool
is critical for breathing
370
00:41:11,469 --> 00:41:13,504
and hopefully
attracting a female.
371
00:41:15,306 --> 00:41:18,443
♪ ♪
372
00:41:19,544 --> 00:41:21,679
But that requires
time to practice.
373
00:41:24,682 --> 00:41:28,653
Because this is how mudskippers
make each other's acquaintance.
374
00:41:38,830 --> 00:41:43,568
The ladies know that the highest
jumpers are the fittest fellas.
375
00:41:47,372 --> 00:41:51,509
Today, they're not the
slightest bit interested.
376
00:42:00,952 --> 00:42:04,822
This overexcited muddy
has landed too close for
377
00:42:04,956 --> 00:42:06,257
his neighbor's comfort.
378
00:42:13,297 --> 00:42:15,533
The ultimate offense
has been taken.
379
00:42:16,134 --> 00:42:19,170
♪ ♪
380
00:42:19,604 --> 00:42:21,873
Dorsal fins rise in aggression.
381
00:42:24,008 --> 00:42:25,977
Mouths gape with insult.
382
00:42:27,145 --> 00:42:30,515
But the oxygen clock
has timed out.
383
00:42:30,648 --> 00:42:31,783
-
384
00:42:37,088 --> 00:42:38,623
Where were we?
385
00:42:38,756 --> 00:42:39,457
Ah, yes.
386
00:42:41,192 --> 00:42:44,328
♪ ♪
387
00:42:45,430 --> 00:42:47,999
The duelists are evenly matched.
388
00:42:48,132 --> 00:42:49,567
This calls for a fight.
389
00:42:50,802 --> 00:42:53,771
♪ ♪
390
00:42:56,507 --> 00:43:00,511
A very short fight.
391
00:43:03,681 --> 00:43:07,318
Battling whilst holding
their breath is exhausting.
392
00:43:09,654 --> 00:43:12,023
So they resign to their
own mud pools again.
393
00:43:19,997 --> 00:43:24,402
As the tide rises, the mood
on the mud flat brightens.
394
00:43:26,871 --> 00:43:31,976
And everyone returns to the pomp
of their aerial pretensions.
395
00:43:44,489 --> 00:43:46,924
But mudskipper manners
never last long.
396
00:43:48,726 --> 00:43:53,064
Because on Planet Weird, the
next outrage is never more
397
00:43:53,197 --> 00:43:54,999
than a sideways glance away.
