Episode description
A little yucky man...what more could you want? He craves the best of both worlds and exists in all words. Say hello to Hannah Montana, the Last Airbender.
This week we learn about mudskippers, an amphibious fish with an identity crisis. How does he thermoregulate? Are his eyeballs a headband and where can I get one? Why does he have secret bonus fins that make him look jacked? How does he regulate ammonia production and reduce the membrane permeability of his skin? Also who gave him the right?
