The African lungfish, commonly referred to as the mudfish, possesses the remarkable ability to breathe air, enabling it to survive on land. This adaptation allows the species to endure prolonged periods of drought by entering a state of dormancy within burrows of hardened mud beneath dried streambeds. A 1935 documentary captured the moment one such lungfish was revived from this dormant state. Remarkably, the African lungfish can survive without water for several months. | Canitellstevekoozer

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

During this state, called aestivation, the lungfish slows its metabolism to a near standstill and can survive for up to three years without food or water, breathing through a tiny air hole until the rains return.
