Fish filmed ‘walking’ by road in China in bizarre spectacle

Dozens of fish can be seen moving across land in Haikou, China, in bizarre footage.

In the video, a group of fish are seen “walking” together in a roadside ditch on a rainy day.

The colour of the fish is quite similar to the rocks in the ditch and they move together in a queue.

The footage was filmed in Haikou, Hainan province, on 27 September.

Climbing perch fish, which can live without water for six to ten days and can breathe atmospheric oxygen, have been seen displaying similar behaviour in other viral clips.
