Natural History Museum visit, 2007
Created: 2007-05-12
Pictures taken when my brother and I visited the Natural History Museum in London on April 21, 2007.
Living fossil
Sometimes, extinct critters turn out not to be extinct. Which is cool.
640 x 427 | Pickled coelacanth (640 x 427) These ancient fish were thought long extinct until live specimens were found in South Africa in the 1930s. Live coelacanth are pale blue and silver; this one has faded somewhat. It doesn't look very appetising; I think I'll stick to haddock. |
