Fish on the South Pacific island of Rarotonga evolved the ability to survive out of water because it helped them escape predators in the ocean, new research shows.
Fish have evolved the ability to live on land many times, challenging the perception that this extreme lifestyle shift was a rare occurrence in ancient times, UNSW research shows.
