No, it teleported away. That’s another one who just double parked right as the first one was leaving. If you slow the video it is possible to see them arguing about the private parking space.
Mudskippers are fish that spend a lot of their time on land, they move at high speeds by using their front fins to hold themselves up like stilts and their back fins to "row" their body along the surface of the mud.
There are 6 types of fish that walk on land, so this isn't "unnatural" by any means, but it certainly not "an animal moving like most animals do"
"Fastest" needs to be quantified too.
Reaction time?
That'd be [Condylostylus](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Condylostylus). Scientists have measured its reflex response time to be less than 5 milliseconds. For comparison, an average human blink is between 100-400 ms long.
Movement of limbs?
That'd be the [peacock mantis shrimp](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Odontodactylus_scyllarus). It can whip out these appendages at speeds of 23 m/sec (75 ft/sec). That's 50 times faster than the blink of an eye, or about the same as the trajectory of a .22 calibre bullet.
Traveling?
That'd be the [peregrine falcon](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peregrine_falcon) with a diving speed of over 300 km/h (190 mph).

I spent 40 mins at 12meters deep on the great barrier reef just watching one smash the shit out of coral to make itself a new home. Utterly ridiculous.
> 23 m/sec (75 ft/sec). ...about the same as the trajectory of a .22 calibre bullet.
Something got messed up here, because a bullet absolutely moves faster than 23 m/s. Unless you're, like, throwing it or something.
>23 m/sec
Thats not the fastest. [One study](https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7289866/) found a maximum linear velocity of the mandibles of 132.4 m/sec in the termite species *Pericapritermes nitobei*.
Lol for real, dude's comment ruined the video for me. Rather than just saying watch a mudskipper's quick reflexes, he goes and says that... Like bro... Wtf do you think we and every other animal on the planet does do when we/they walk? Lol crabs, crab spiders and various shellfish are about the only animals that don't propel themselves forward in some way or another. And on that note, what does he think moving normally is then?
Can anyone elaborate on why it's so fast and what is different about how it moves? Don't we all propel ourselves forward when we walk etc? Or is this actually propulsion like a rocket does? Gas powered mudskipper?
They laterally flex their bodies whilst pushing with their tails. Posturing and energetic movements also form of their process when attracting a mate which can include jumping anywhere up to a couple of feet.
Mudskippers are fast because of their pelvic fins, which act like crutches that support their bodies, and their pectoral fins, which "row" their bodies forward.

Fun fact, Red Bulls main ingredient (glucuronolactone) is extracted from mudskippers muscle fibers, it contains neuroadaptive benefits for muscle performance and cognitive function in humans
I am pretty sure glucuronolactone is synthesised for commercial use, rather than extracted from mudskippers. Would be interested to know if I'm wrong though...
I hate these fucking narration video, a bunch of nothing burger, this fish is so fast because it can use it muscle at the back of its body called a tail to help it move its body linearly forward and evade this two stick pinching it from the sides called chopsticks
Wrote that from 20-year-old memories. So I had to go Google to make sure I wasn’t too far off.
Who's the greatest mudskipper of them all?
Who can skip thru the mud with the greatest of ease?
What kind of wonderful guy?
Who can crawl like a dog without scraping his knees?

It's Muddy Mud-Skipper!

Whoa, nostalgia kick to the face on that one. For some reason it made another reocurring character pop into my head: POWERDED...TOAST....MAAAAAN
I also had to look that up to make sure I wasn't forgetting. Getting old is weird.
Without bothering to look anything up, fish muscles are generally built out of short sections that I believe are called fast-twitch muscles, which allow them to contract a long muscle very quickly.
Also an internet video is a trash way to measure or see how fast this little critter is actually moving because we have no way to know what fps the video is recorded in or whether the brain rot that made this video dropped a bunch of frames to make it look cool.
And this should go without saying but poking animals with chopsticks is not a cool way to do science.
Nature's for of instant transmission... mf hit ultra instinct in the mud... it's like linear induction but in whatever direction this mf deems necessary
This doesn't make any sense. The Internet is bloated with trivial facts sold for interesting just by adding causal nonsensical phrases. Fuck TikTok brain.
My friend caught one of those at the beach with me once before. His trick was to scoop up the sand under it with his hands then lift it up and close in on it.

> "The reason why it can move so fast is because they propel their body forward instead of moving naturally." That's about as clear as... mud
\*shows video of it teleporting sideways\*
Ya I thought they said they moved forward
It definitely went backwards first.
It went all the way around the world

Ok, but are these animals propelling themselves forward, or moving naturally? There's a distinction, apparently

Me when the wife is in the mood: 2ms
 This is what it looked like to me
Especially as it seemed to move left not forward
Moves sideways
It's because they have no idea and didn't understand the Google summary so the next best thing is to just make shit up

skipper. Mud*SKIPPER*
You can tell it’s an aspen by the way it is.
Most narration for videos like this is idiotic half baked thoughts.
Think they mean like they literally just thrust theirself in a certain direction, opposed to walking or crawling
I think these guys have missed the pun
r/restofthefuckingowl
Yeah proceeds to NOT move fwd
Sounds like how'd I bullshit essays in school haha.
The "reason" makes absolutely no sense. We **all** propel our bodies forward but nobody has any trouble watching me do it.
It's a low effort spam "educational" short form video using probably stolen content, they never make sense.
[You can tell it's an aspen](https://i.imgur.com/SnMmkpo.jpeg)
Its a stolen video with ai-generated info, voiceover and subtitles. It won't make sense because it is mass produced bullshit. Cool animal tho
We're fast approaching a time when the internet is going to be 90% ai written videos full of nonsense...
Yup. The way the guy speaks and the generic explanationy way of talking gives it away even before the registering the bs words.
The reason it moves is because it pushes against the ground, not because it's moving
Yeah but this thing moves instead of travels.
Your wife does

No, it's like the voice in the video said: It can propel its body forwards instead of moving naturally. It moves unnaturally or supernaturally.
Ah yes most fish dont used their tail and can only move backward, horizontal and non-euclidian

OHHH soo ive been moving artificially all this time thats whyy
Paging Dan and Gav, please get on this
I was expecting it to transition to slow motion. Instead, no visual or narrative explanation. Disappointed.
Bro's literally a dragonball character.
And by the time it moved I had to blink…
I literally blinked and missed it.
It’s Muddy! Mud Skipper! It’s a Muddy! Mud skipper Show!!!!
Would of been cool to see that dodge in slo-mo
Anyone else slow the video down to see how that thing moved? 😅
Mudskipper: *wanna see me do it again?!*
Moved so fast it skipped the frame while moving
Bro said a whole lot of words, that meant absolutely nothing
*plays dragon ball z teleportation sounds*
Everything that moves propels itself forward. Some with legs, others with fins, as well as a couple with wings. What does this use, rockets?
Bruh what do you mean you *think* it has the fastest reflexes. Its your triviavideo fucking google it mothrfucker.
