I could see them breathing, but I can't always capture it. I might be too excited....

Animal of the Day!
West African Lungfish (Protopterus annectens)
Tumblr media
(Photo from Zoo Leipzig)
Conservation Status- Least Concern
Habitat- Western Africa; Southern Africa
Size (Weight/Length)- 3.6 kg; 100 cm
Diet- Mollusks; Frogs; Fish; Roots; Seeds
Cool Facts- The West African lungfish have one of the most complex respiratory systems of any fish. Capable of breathing air with help from gas bladders, they can maximize their gas exchange in their lungs. Even when water is abundant, West African Lungfish breathe directly from the surface. However, living in Africa often means a lack of water for most of winter. These lungfish are capable of living outside of water for these months, buried in dry riverbeds and waiting for the rains to bring rivers. During their aestivation, the West African lungfish doesn’t eat at all. One time, a lungfish survived 3 and a half years without eating anything as it waited for its river to fill.
Rating- 13/10 (Epitome of noodle arms.)

Daily fish fact #591
Gilled lungfish!
Tumblr media
They're notable for having three pairs of external gills which they retain into adulthood, and also for being the smallest lungfish species! Despite the gills, they're still obligate air breathers and can handle being buried in dried mud for months just like the other lungfishes.

World's oldest aquarium fish 'Methuselah' could be decades older than we originally thought, DNA clock reveals
A new study has found that the famous Australian lungfish Methuselah, who first arrived in the U.S. in 1938, could be up to 101 years old.
The world's oldest aquarium fish, a lungfish named Methuselah, may actually be decades older than researchers originally thought and may even be over 100 years old, a new study finds. Methuselah is a female Australian lungfish (Neoceratodus forsteri) that resides at Steinhart Aquarium in San Francisco, California. She first arrived at the aquarium in 1938 after being sent to the U.S. along with more than 200 other fish from Fiji and Australia.  Aquarium staff have never been sure how old Methuselah is, but until now the best guess was that she is 84 years old, which makes her the oldest known fish in captivity. (In the Bible, Methuselah was a man who reputedly lived to be 969 years old.)...
