King of sea fish (the coelacanth) was considered to have become extinct with the dinosaurs. Fish that are found again in 1938 it is reported here in the form of a rare photo story.
Rarely are living fossils appear in the nets of fishermen. However, that's what happened in 1938, when a South African museum curator named Marjorie Courtenay-Latimer saw a strange creature with thick scales, fins odd, and an additional lobe on its tail, in between regular fish catches. Although not directly know the time, Courtenay-Latimer rediscover coelacanths, which are considered extinct in the late Cretaceous Period but somehow last longer than many fellow prasejarahnya, living deep in the sea, undisturbed and not-known-for thousands of years .
Since the emergence of this unexpected, Latimeria chalumnae found in some isolated place in the Indian Ocean. No one knows how many fish are left-can 1000 can also 10,000. Because it their habitat, these fish primarily photographed using a submersible vehicle and unmanned spacecraft. First-time divers to document this fish in 2000; in January and February 2010, a team of specially trained to dive into the deep ocean to photograph a small colony at Sodwana Bay, South Africa.
