When the coelacanth was first discovered in 1938, it was compared to the feeling of finding a T-rex walking around in modern times. Scientists thought the coelacanth had gone extinct 65 million years ago, until a museum curator in South Africa discovered one in a local fisherman’s net. They can reach almost 7 feet (2 meters) in length, and live in depths up to 2,300 feet (700 meters). Their paired lobe fins are similar to those of tetrapods, or four-footed animals, and they move in a way that looks like the fish is “walking” through the water.
