Nest guarding in male mudskipper
My male mudskipper has finally lost his marbles and become a broody (hopefully soon-to-be) dad. In the videos below, you can see his obsession with his burrow and his activities to clean and add air to the burrow (watch his cheek pouches just before he goes into the burrow, there are several occasions where it is obvious). He is now very protective of the entrance and drives the female away (a sign that spawinging has occured. Videos below (sorry, I missed the spawning and courtship events!) Hope to catch in the future.
Enjoy (P.S. added some music to the vids to make them less boring).
