Ancient Fish Back From the Dead?!

A fish everyone thought went extinct with the dinosaurs was found alive and kicking in 1938! The coelacanth, a 400-million-year-old “living fossil,” shocked scientists when it turned up in a fisherman’s net in South Africa. Turns out, locals in the Indian Ocean had known about it for ages. This fish has wild features—lobed fins that move like legs and a jaw that unhinges like a monster movie. Sadly, there are only a few hundred left, so it’s a real-life sea legend in danger. #LivingFossil #Coelacanth #WildDiscovery #Science
