living fossils?

The coelacanth fish was known to have gone extinct with the dinosaurs 65 million years ago. In 1938 a fisherman was fishing off a coatline and caught one of those fish. There are two known species, one found on the est coast if Africa and the othe off the coast of Indonesia. These fishes average life span is up to 60 years. Coelacanth fish are known to be six an a half feet lond and can weight up to 200 pounds. What the sad thing is that there are only about 1000 of coelacanth fish left.

I think it is great that there are still these kinda fish. It is really neat that they were known to be extinct wtih the dinosaurs.If there was a way to help/make the coelacanth fish mate there would be more fish. But it is not good because there are only 1000 of these fish left, which means it is an endangered speices.
