COELACANTH

Relatives of this 3 foot long marine fish first appeared in the Devonian Period, some 400 million years ago, and were thought to have become extinct at the end of the Cretaceous, 65 million years ago. However, a living specimen was caught off the Comoro Islands of the Indian Ocean in the 1930's, and several more have been caught and studied since then. Nicknamed "Old Four Legs" because of it's unusually robust paired fins, the Coelacanth and it's relatives are considered to represent an intermediate step in the evolution from fish to amphibians.
