Wow this is pretty recent. Like yesterday recent - were they only known through dead specimens before this?
Animal Crossing told me they were still around
Edit: they around
Well-represented in both freshwater and marine fossils since the Devonian, they are now represented by only two extant marine species in the genus Latimeria: the West Indian Ocean coelacanth (Latimeria chalumnae), primarily found near the Comoro Islands off the east coast of Africa, and the Indonesian coelacanth (Latimeria menadoensis).[4] The name coelacanth originates from the Permian genus Coelacanthus, which was the first scientifically named coelacanth.[5]
Dredge told me that too
For some reason I thought they were already alive in the Amazon River
