Meet the Protopterus, also known as the African lungfish! ????
This incredible fish species can breathe air using lungs, much like mammals, allowing it to survive out of water for months during dry seasons by burrowing into mud and entering a state called estivation.
????✨ Native to Africa, the Protopterus has a fascinating eel-like body that can reach lengths of up to 6.6 feet in some species! These ancient creatures are living fossils, having changed little since their prehistoric origins millions of years ago.
???????? Dive into the past with every glimpse of a Protopterus!
