As life on earth evolved, billions of creatures made the move from primordial ooze to life on land. For most, that eons-long transformation was a one-way trip. With the exception of amphibians—which spend their larval stage in water and later metamorphize into air-breathers—the majority of organisms that start life with fins and gills stay underwater for the duration, denizens of one world, not two. The blue whale that beaches or the exuberant goldfish that leaps from its bowl find the same fate: curtains. But there are some fish that walk on land.
 

For a select handful of fish, the transition from water to land can be a round trip instead of a dead end. At least 11 genera of fish are capable of “terrestrial locomotion”—the ability to travel on land—and they move from water to land and back again with ease. Scientists find these piscine outliers fascinating studies in evolution. The rest of us can marvel at the toughness, adaptability, and flamboyant peculiarity of creatures that thrive on both sides of the tideline. Here are six of the freakiest fish-out-water you’ll ever encounter.
