Rare “Living Fossil” Coelacanth Filmed in Indonesian Waters
For the first time, French divers captured rare footage of a coelacanth — a prehistoric fish thought to be extinct — deep off Indonesia’s Maluku Islands, offering scientists a unique window into ancient marine life.
Key Points:
Divers reached ~145 m depth to film the elusive coelacanth in its natural habitat.
This species has ancient anatomical features that help scientists understand evolution.
The sighting suggests suitable deep-sea refuges still exist despite environmental pressures.
Expert Insight: A coelacanth is called a “living fossil” because it retains traits from ancient fish lineages, bridging gaps in knowledge about vertebrate evolution.
