Mudskippers are amphibious fish, presently included in the subfamily Oxudercinae within the family Gobiidae (gobies). Recent molecular studies do not support this classification, as oxudercine gobies appear to be paraphyletic relative to amblyopine gobies (Gobiidae: Amblyopinae), thus being included in a distinct "Periophthalmus lineage", together with amblyopines. Mudskippers can be defined as oxudercine gobies that are "fully terrestrial for some portion of the daily cycle" (character 24 in Murdy, 1989. This would define the species of the genera Boleophthalmus, Periophthalmodon, Periophthalmus, and Scartelaos as "mudskippers". However, field observations of Zappa confluentus suggest that also this monotypic genus should be included in this definition. These genera presently include 32 species. Mudskippers use their pectoral fins and pelvic fins to walk on land. They typically live in intertidal habitats, and exhibit unique adaptations to this environment that are not found in most intertidal fishes, which typically survive the retreat of the tide by hiding under wet seaweed or in tide pools.

 

Mudskippers are quite active when out of water, feeding and interacting with one another, for example, to defend their territories and court potential partners. They are found in tropical, subtropical, and temperate regions, including the Indo-Pacific and the Atlantic coast of Africa.

Thought I'd show a shot of these two together, the AAV-7 and LVT-4

 

Earlier a BA tripod arm flipped over my shoulder and I could not find it anywhere, I practically turned every piece of furniture upside down to find it..with no luck after 45 minutes I decided to look closer to home and low and behold it has flipped up and into my top pocket haha..least I found it!

 

Many copies of my LVT but only one true original and here she is again ; )

 

Markenwelt tracks used on the AAV-7..try them out as they are really awesome.

  

Amphibious car, possibly a Dutton Surf 4wd although Searoader are a specialist amphibious vehicle builder based in Tewkesbury which is where this was parked or maybe moored in a small car park.

After not being seen for a week we were getting very worried until….. tadah… here he is in the pond again 😌

The Bison was an amphibious vehicle, optimised for traversing the tundra of Hibernia. Similar to Siberia, on Earth, the land could be frozen and snowy in the winter and then melt into swampland in the summer.

 

The design was based on the LVT Buffalo of WWII vintage. A big difference was that the Bison's ramp was front loading, whereas the Buffalo had a rear loading ramp. The Bison also featured extra plumbing, to enable hand washing, which was impossible in the old Buffalo design.

 

The cargo space was just large enough to hold one, half-sized standard Hibernia container or a small vehicle.

Amphibious Bistort is a species of flowering plant that is native to wetland habitats in the Northern Hemisphere. This plant is a member of the buckwheat family and is known for its long, thick roots, which allow it to tolerate wet conditions and make it a valuable resource for erosion control.

 

One of the key features of Amphibious Bistort is its ability to grow in both aquatic and terrestrial environments. It can be found in wetlands, bogs, and riverbanks and is able to tolerate long periods of flooding and submergence. This versatility makes it an ideal choice for restoring and stabilizing wetland habitats.

 

My thanks to anyone who views, faves or comments on any of my photos. It is much appreciated.

The Amphicar Model 770 is an amphibious automobile, launched at the 1961 New York Auto Show, manufactured in West Germany and marketed in the United States from 1961-1967, with production having ended in 1965. Designed by Hanns Trippel, the amphibious vehicle was manufactured by the Quandt Group at Lübeck and at Berlin-Borsigwalde, with a total of 3,878 manufactured in a single generation. A descendant of the Volkswagen Schwimmwagen, the Amphicar offered only modest performance compared to most contemporary boats or cars, featured navigation lights and flag as mandated by Coast Guard — and after operation in water, required greasing at 13 points, one of which required removal of the rear seat. The Amphicar name is a portmanteau of "amphibious" and "car". [Source: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amphicar]

The museum was founded in 1962 by a group of Oshawa businessmen through the Oshawa Chamber of Commerce. The venture was initiated mainly to preserve the automotive history of Canada and to present this history in an educational and entertaining manner. Canadian Automotive Museum Inc is a charitable corporation and has been in operation since 1963. The museum is housed in a 25,000 sq ft (2,300 m2) building in downtown Oshawa that was originally the location of Ontario Motor Sales, a local car dealership, in the 1920s.
