76. Fish out of water

An African catfish known as the clariid can live out of water for several days.

It has a lung like organ which supplements the gills.

The fish uses this ability to move to a new home in a dry season.

It wriggles on land between stretches of water.

But how it finds out which direction to go is still a mystery to the scientists!
