The Mangrove rivulus (Rivulus marmoratus) is a tropical fish that lives in mangrove swamps across the Americas and can survive out of water for months. Evolutionists claim that this is similar to how animals adapted to land millions of years ago, although creationists, especially young-earth creationists, dispute that claim.
When their habitat dries up, they live on the land in logs, said Scott Taylor, a researcher at the Brevard County Environmentally Endangered Lands Program in central Florida. [1]
The fish can grow as large as three inches. They group together in logs hollowed out by insects and breathe air through their skin instead of their gills until they can find water again.
