In West Africa’s seasonal rivers, the lungfish has survived unchanged for 400 million years. When waters dry up, it burrows into mud, forms a mucus cocoon, and breathes air through a small opening. It can stay dormant without food or water for over three years, reviving with the next rains. #Lungfish | Ancientegy

The West African lungfish has been on Earth for over 400 million years — and for good reason. When drought strikes, it burrows into the mud, forms a mucus cocoon, and enters a deep sleep called aestivation. In this state, it can survive up to 3 years without food or water, breathing through a tiny air hole until rain returns. A true survivor of evolution’s toughest tests. 🌧️💪 #NatureFacts #Lungfish #Survival #AnimalAdaptations #ShortsViral | Known Oddities
