The cranial elements bear hand-written documentation, preserving detailed provenance information. Despite its small size, this skeleton represents one of nature's most extraordinary adaptations—a fish capable of dual respiration through gills and primitive lungs, and able to survive months of drought in dormancy. An exceptional addition for collectors and educators interested in vertebrate evolution and paleontology.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"pointer-events-none -mt-px h-px translate-y-[calc(var(--scroll-root-safe-area-inset-bottom)-14*var(--spacing))]\"\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"pointer-events-none -mt-px h-px translate-y-[calc(var(--scroll-root-safe-area-inset-bottom)-14*var(--spacing))]\"\u003eThe \u003cspan class=\"hover:entity-accent entity-underline inline cursor-pointer align-baseline\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"whitespace-normal\"\u003eWest African Lungfish\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e is a remarkable freshwater fish native to rivers, floodplains, and swamps throughout western and central Africa. As one of the world's few living lungfish species, it possesses both gills and a primitive lung, allowing it to breathe air when oxygen levels in the water are low. During seasonal droughts, the West African Lungfish can survive for months encased in a cocoon of dried mucus buried within the mud, entering a state of dormancy known as aestivation. This ancient lineage provides valuable insight into the evolutionary transition between aquatic and terrestrial vertebrates, making it one of the most scientifically significant fish species alive today.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"qMYqUG_convSearchResultHighlightRoot\"\u003e\n\u003csection data-turn=\"assistant\" data-scroll-anchor=\"false\" data-testid=\"conversation-turn-4\" data-turn-id-container=\"request-WEB:6f61660c-2490-4df4-8d79-c292b6177f55-1\" data-turn-id=\"request-WEB:6f61660c-2490-4df4-8d79-c292b6177f55-1\" dir=\"auto\" class=\"text-token-text-primary w-full focus:outline-none has-data-writing-block:pointer-events-none [\u0026amp;:has([data-writing-block])\u0026gt;*]:pointer-events-auto [content-visibility:auto] supports-[content-visibility:auto]:[contain-intrinsic-size:auto_100lvh] R6Vx5W_threadScrollVars scroll-mb-[calc(var(--scroll-root-safe-area-inset-bottom,0px)+var(--thread-response-height))] scroll-mt-[calc(var(--header-height)+min(200px,max(70px,20svh)))]\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"text-base my-auto mx-auto pb-10 [--thread-content-margin:var(--thread-content-margin-xs,calc(var(--spacing)*4))] @w-sm\/main:[--thread-content-margin:var(--thread-content-margin-sm,calc(var(--spacing)*6))] @w-lg\/main:[--thread-content-margin:var(--thread-content-margin-lg,calc(var(--spacing)*16))] px-(--thread-content-margin)\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"[--thread-content-max-width:40rem] @w-lg\/main:[--thread-content-max-width:48rem] mx-auto max-w-(--thread-content-max-width) flex-1 group\/turn-messages focus-visible:outline-hidden relative flex w-full min-w-0 flex-col agent-turn\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"z-0 flex min-h-[46px] justify-start\"\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"mt-3 w-full empty:hidden\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"text-center\"\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecifications:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExhibits hand-written verbiage on cranial elements\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSkeleton - Partial Length 5.2 cm (2 in)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSkeleton - Partial Width 4.3 cm (1.7 in)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSkeleton - Partial Height 2.1 cm (0.8 in)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Skulls Unlimited International, Inc.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":63717307974001,"sku":"OK-211636","price":249.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1467\/6660\/files\/DSC05645.jpg?v=1780343696","url":"https:\/\/www.skullsunlimited.com\/products\/real-african-lungfish-skeleton-partial-211636-639159236865471752","provider":"Skulls Unlimited International, Inc.","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
