Lung Fishes
Lung fishes are a type of fish belonging to the subclass Dipnoi, characterized by their ability to breathe air. They have a unique respiratory system that allows them to extract oxygen from the air, as well as from water. Lung fishes are typically found in freshwater habitats, such as rivers, lakes, and swamps. They have adapted to survive in low oxygen environments and are known for their ability to aestivate during dry periods. Lung fishes have elongated bodies and fin-like limbs, making them well-suited for navigating through muddy or shallow waters. These ancient fish species have been around for millions of years and are considered living fossils due to their primitive characteristics.
