Coelacanths- Coelacanths are fish that live in the Indian Ocean. Scientists believed that they went extinct about 70 million years ago. But in 1938 a few fishermen caught a strange looking fish near the coast of South Africa. The fishermen called a famous scientist to look at it. The scientist soon figured out that it was a coelacanth, by comparing the fossils. Think there are any T-Rex's still alive?!
