Rock-climbing Goby

Rock-climbing goby ascend the slippery, overhanging rocks of high waterfalls

Rock-climbing goby swim against strong currents and ascend the slippery, overhanging rocks of high waterfalls using mouth and pelvic suckers. While some other fish species are known for their waterfall-climbing feats, none of them jump onto and over dry rocks like the rock-climbing goby. What is it that drives rock-climbing goby to fight their way upstream over waterfalls and dry rocks? [7’22″/Subtitles: English]
