Snakehead fish has a strong vitality and ranks first among freshwater fish. Some people have done experiments and found that snakehead fish can live for half a month when placed on moist and cool land. Because ordinary fish can only absorb oxygen dissolved in water, while snakehead fish can directly absorb oxygen from the air. With this "special function", when there is no rain for a long time and the lake is about to dry up, it can hibernate like some animals, that is, in a dormant state. At this time, it sits down in the mud with its tail down, leaving only its mouth exposed above the mud surface. It is commonly known as the "sitting" or "escape" of snakehead fish. This is the "dry sleep" of snakehead fish. At this time, it is in a state of numbness, which can last for several weeks. When water comes again, the snakehead fish will resume normal life.
