African lungfish
Range:  
Notable: Lungfish belong to a prehistoric group of fishes that
lived over 300 million years ago. When submerged, these fish
must occasionally swim to the surface and gulp air or they
will drown. The African lungfish has adapted to survive out
of water for several years. When swamp waters recede, the
lungfish burrows into the mud and covers itself with a thick
coat of slime. The slime hardens into a cocoon which prevents
the lungfish from drying out. The lungfish emerges from its
cocoon after the first seasonal rains refill the swamp.
