From Sanskrit or regional South Asian languages, the name for a specific fish species (Amphipnous cuchia) that can breathe air and walk across wet ground.
The cuchia is one of nature's amazing amphibious fish—it can crawl across wet land using its muscular tail, and it comes to the surface to breathe air, making it one of the toughest freshwater fish in floods.
