There is no difference between a lungfish of today and one that lived 350 million years ago.

Order Lepidosireniformes – African and South American Lungfish

This “super-fish” can survive for several years underground!

Lungfish is a fresh water fish that belongs to the subclass of Dipnoi.

Evolutionists’ third candidate for the role of amphibian ancestor is the lungfish.

Lungfish are freshwater fish belonging to the Subclass Dipnoi.

Evolutionists’ third candidate for the role of amphibian ancestor is the lungfish.

They were very common during the Devonian period, but today lungfish and coelacanths are the only survivors.

It is said to be the sole Australian survivor of a family of fish that has been around since the dinosaurs.

Many ancient fish had lung-like organs, and a few, such as the lungfish, still do.

Man is nowhere near the top of the list, being exceeded by Amphiuma (an amphibian), Protopterus (a lungfish), and even ordinary frogs and toads.

Named after Scaumenac Bay (Baie d’Escuminac), the dipnoan fish Scaumenacia curta is the second most abundant sarcopterygian in the fossiliferous Escuminac Formation after Eusthenopteron foordi.

David Attenborough disqualifies both the lungfish and the coelacanth “because the bones of their skulls are so different from those of the first fossil amphibians that the one cannot be derived from the other.

Neither the coelacanth nor the lungfish is the evolutionary missing link per se, but both are solid living representatives of the group of species that amphibians, reptiles, dinosaurs, and chickens are all descended from.
