    Some fish can survive for very long periods out of water for example in China there is a catfish called the walking catfish in times of drought when the water level falls in the lake or pond that these fish live in the fish will actualy walk out of their lake or pond and walk great distances to find another lake or pond with more water than their home pond had . and then there is the fish called the GOBI this fish spends more time out of water than it does in the water they use their fins like feet to walk around the mud flats during low tides looking for prey and then there is the champion of all fish the lung fish of Africa during the dry season these fish will bury themselves in the mud at the bottom of a river and they will stay buried through the entire dry season even if the river completly dries up they have been known to stay buried for over a year without water and when the rains come and the river fills with water the Lung fish emerges from the mud and lives as if nothing ever happened
