Creepy, but (again) good move at the end of the clip...Haha.
The species is found in mangrove and estuarine habitats throughout much of the Indo-Pacific; and only rarely encountered in freshwater...
Interesting that this species has also been known to hoist its torso up out of the water; as if to fly...
In the case of extinction, or new prey, or water loss, or water increase... Just one of the many examples of adaptation, by which species "morph" to accommodate earth changes; in order to secure their survival...
-Species = adaptation x creation = survival.
-Earth= destruction = renewal... (As always has been.)
