The West African lungfish has been on Earth for over 400 million years — and for good reason.

A true survivor of evolution’s toughest tests. 🌧️💪 #NatureFacts #Lungfish #Survival #AnimalAdaptations #ShortsViral | Known Oddities

MRU.INK on Instagram: "The West African lungfish can live without food or water for more than three years. When rivers dry up, it buries itself in mud and seals inside a mucus cocoon, breathing through it until the rains return.
