biological discoveries of the 20th century. It was like finding a living dinosaur walking down the street, but more so as coelacanths predated dinosaurs by over 150 million years! The subsequent discovery and study of living coelacanths off Mozambique, Tanzania, Kenya, Madagascar, the Comoros, and even in Indonesia has shown that, although the coelacanth has a primitive anatomy, its behaviour and breeding strategy are very advanced. This talk will detail the discovery of the coelacanth, as well as considering the reasons why ‘old fourlegs’ has been such a successful survivor.
