A "fossil fish" with origins that can be traced back 420 million years has miraculously resurfaced in the West Indian Ocean off the coast of Madagascar.
The coelacanth species, also known as the "four-legged fish" for its vigorous fins, roams in deep undersea canyons between 350 and 1,600 feet below the surface. According to the Smithsonian Ocean Portal, the fish were first rediscovered in 1938 using gill-nets.More Related News
