Meet a living fossil with legs, teeth, and a 5-foot-long scaly body—our distant, finned relative from 385 million years ago! In this episode of OYLA Podcast, we dive into the extraordinary discovery of Latimeria, the coelacanth that shocked the scientific world in 1938 and gave us a glimpse of our ancient aquatic cousins. Learn how this deep-sea predator moves like a terrestrial animal, lives for over a century, and even carries its babies internally for 13 months! Adventure, science, and evolution collide in this story of a “zoological sensation of the 20th century.”
