Coelacanth
The Coelacanth was thought to be extinct along with all the dinosaurs millions of years ago but little did we know they were lurking in the depths the whole time. The Coelacanth is part of a rare order of fish known as the Latimeria, along with the Coelacanth this order involves two other extinct species of fish, the West Indian Coelacanth and the Indonesian Coelacanth. This species is also called the Living Fossil as a nick name. The Coelacanth can grow up to 1.8 meters in length. The Coelacanth uses the ocean currents to use less energy and to find food easier by just drifting and keeping stable through the water.
