Am curious about this quote on Wikipedia about P. Senegalus:
“Provided the skin remains moist, P. senegalus can remain out of the water indefinitely – it can even be raised on land, where it uses its large pectoral fins to walk.[5]”
I get the limitations of Wikipedia, but the citation comes from a well know science journal “Nature.” Can anyone here confirm this? Do any of the poly keepers try amphibian setups for these guys? They seem to be an evolutionary stepping stone that I find fascinating. Also I want to convince the fiancé these are worthwhile. The idea that was they could get out and walk across the floor is not a selling point for her!!
