Stella Posted October 31, 2010 Report Share Posted October 31, 2010 A very very short video (13 seconds) of a koaro climbing the sides of a bucket - vertical walls are just so easy for these guys! (I can't figure out how to embed the video here) They climb using their large downturned pectoral and pelvic fins. The only thing that stops them is an overhang, they can't climb upside down. Which makes climbing things like this a breeze: but makes these common perched culverts like this impassable: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
