Protopterus annectens
African lungfish
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.
