A new population of 420-million-year-old fish with four legs that was thought to be extinct has been found in Africa
Several shark hunters stumbled upon a previously unknown population of coelacanths, a 420-million-year-old 'fossil fish' that was once thought to be extinct. The discovery was made in the southwestern part of Madagascar in the Indian Ocean. Coelacanths were thought to be extinct until 1938. These 'living fossils,' which predate the dinosaurs, are considered endangered. The bony fish can weigh up to 200 pounds, reach nearly 7 feet in length and live for nearly 50 years.
