Man Hooks “Extinct” Dinosaur Fish
Wednesday, May 23rd, 2007
An Indonesian fisherman snagged a rare coelacanth on Saturday.
Yustinus Lahama caught the fish (which scientists not long ago believed had gone extinct with the dinosaurs) near Bunaken National Marine Park, off Sulawesi island.
Scientists were shocked when a coelacanth (pronounced SEE-la-kanth) was found off Africa’s coast in 1938. They had believed the fish went extinct 65 million years ago.

There’s no telling what’s in the ocean that we don’t know about.
Say, something like a… Giant Sea Turtle? I wish.
Too bad that fish died. It would have been nice to have it in a seaquarium or something, alive and well.
thats old news man. this site gets lot of old shit.
It would be nice to see a real-life coelacanth up close if it did not die
