Not that I'm a creationist (I'm a big skeptic), but it's so confusing how these fish haven't even evolved ever since? Were the other types of fish then that DID evolve?
What made the other type of fish evolve into an amphibian, a reptile, a mammal and then to us?
@Nancy99999 These organisms have evolved. Fossil coelacanths are significantly different in that they are smaller and lack certain internal structures. Also, The theory of evolution does not say that all organisms must evolve. In an unchanging environment, natural selection would tend to keep things largely unchanged morphologically.
@Nancy99999 I too am curious why the coelacanth did not evolve. Maybe it is also possible the humans were humans from the start, and not really ape-like.
And to think some people think Prehistoric sea serpents are extinct as well? Or that Big foot doesn't exist either! Here is proof that new creatures thought to have gone extinct were gone for ever. Perhaps there are more creatures as yet to be discovered.
This doesn't disporve Darwinism or suggest creationism. It is thought that species tend not to constantly evolve and change by large amounts over time. The idea is that most species rapidly chnage in a phase called trachytely and then do nothing for millions of years, a stasis phases called bradytely. It is perfectly common to see species develops multiple characters of traits, find a niche and stay the same for millions of years. It hasn't allows looked like this but past its phase of rapid ev
That's an Archer Fish..Just look at the Tail.I had someone with a PHD Marine Biology Degree,Thousand's think these Video's are of the Coelacanth (Latimeria Chalumnae) But it's just an Archer..
This is really proving Darwinism about evolution is completely wrong, once though this fish already evolved into reptile for 80 millions years ago, but how come still today, this fish still look exactly the same as 80 millions years ago? and I also found that crab, prone in this modern day, exists for millions of year ago as scientist proclaim, they did not evolved at all, crab millions of years ago and crab today look exactly the same. that is proof everything has been created not evolved.
@khousuylong Because the environs of the members of those species have sustained them to their features and didnt cause them to take any drastic changes to their structure. Crabs the same as they were from before and today? Does a horseshoe crab and a red crab looks the same to you? I can't believe some people still den evolution. It's 2011.
its fascinating to me that every species of living fossil fishes that exist today live in the dark cold ocean floor rather then the surface. those that adapted to the surface changed drastically in physical appearance compared to their fossilized ancestors. I wonder if the ocean water were really dense millions of years ago.
@xerke i'm almost 100% sure that they will have dies out thousands of years ago because they were so huge and there isn't enough huge food for them to eat to survive
@MechanicalEvolution Most animals that live in such deep waters don't survive long in capitivity; they die before they can be taken to an aquarium suited for their needs. Many die a few minutes after reaching the surface.
i heard they don't taste good because of the natural oils they produce, and as such aren't good for human consumption. I say GOOD! Keep what is probably the oldest species around a few billion years longer!
Well, it is a night hunter and this film was made at day, I guess :)
They swim approx. 400 m under the surface at day and at night, they come up and start to hunt. And they are very fast! They also have an interesting feature on opening their mouth: They can open it "normally", like we do, open their jaws, but on their "forehead", they have a special joint so they can lift up their upper jaw even more :)
I wish I could see one in the open seas, must be amazing :)
@Wezzipooh i find it intriguing how it moves, it doesnt move with a classical fish-like motion, its almost like it is walking in water so its not hard to believe relatives of this crawled out of the ocean to inhabit terrestrial earth.
that's remarkable. they find one in 1938, then no one hears about it for another 60years. and now we have clear footage of a healthy specimen in it's natural habitat. bloody amazing!
@ArtyKing12345 It would truly be amazing to see such a creature with your own eyes. Hey, one of these days we are going to commercial vessels that take people down in the deep to observe the amazing things in the oceans.
Just amazing. If someone ever told me that we (relatively) recently rediscovered a fish thought extinct 90 million years ago, I would have thought it was bullshit. When I observed a preserved specimen in held in an aquarium at the Australian Museum, I was so fascinated.

@nickwhitmore Fortunately I am going to London at the end of the year. I had already planned on going to the natural history museum. I didn't know they had Coelacanths ^.^. Thanks for telling me.
@MechanicalEvolution The coelacanth is in the foyer entrance, in a side alcove from the brachiosaur. Also, check out the archeopteryx they have at the other end of the museum. If the animatronic t rex is still out of order you will not be able to walk along the metal walkway in the dinosaur section, so look up at the allosaurus hung from the ceiling. ACE!

It is truly amazing how clueless we are when it comes to the underwater universe. We still have yet to explore the oceans in their entirety. When we first started exploring deep abyssal crevices, hundreds of new species were being discovered and recorded EVERY DAY! That's a lot. Many of them are more ancient that the great dinosaurs. I love coelacanths. Their design is so biologically effective, they remain nearly untouched by time; virtually the same as the were so many millennia ago.
@PhoenixBorealis Something i think worth mentioning though is that Latimeria, this particular Coelacanth is not the same species present in the fossil record, so indeed they have evolved to some degree in between the period where the initial fossils originate and present day.
@VenustasSomnium I actually bought this at a fish and chip shop the other day. It tasted like cod and was advertsied as cod on the meu but i knew it was one of these fish because the owner had a mean glint in one eye.
ceolocanths are awsome! We are just looking into the Sarcoptyergians in my fish, amphibians, and reptiles class. Wish we had a specimen in our lab lol. Good to see footage of a real one
so does this thing swim vertically...i mean srtaight up...i mean swim forwards with its ass in the air...thats what i mean....sheesh...ambiguity...lol
Do not forget, Evolution is still a "theory.." A lot of human-like fossils that dated back to over 5 million years were omitted from records as they did not "fit into" the evolutionary chain
pokemons do exist!

@VenustasSomnium I actually bought this at a fish and chip shop the other day. It tasted like cod and was advertsied as cod on the meu but i knew it was one of these fish because the owner had a mean glint in one eye.

@jamescropley "As a food fish the coelacanth is almost worthless as its tissues exude oils even when dead, imparting the flesh with a foul flavor."
Yeah...you were saying? And besides, no way in HELL is anyone going to let anyone take one of these unauthorized.

These things were originally thought to be extinct, because teh found fossils of these things dating back 65 million years ago.

I'm doing a project on the Coelacanth for my science project, I already knew a lot of information about it, but now I know even more.

Do not forget, Evolution is still a "theory.." A lot of human-like fossils that dated back to over 5 million years were omitted from records as they did not "fit into" the evolutionary chain
