Nature is a production of The WNET Group for PBS. Throughout its history, Nature has brought the natural world to millions of viewers. The PBS series has been consistently among the most-watched primetime series on public television.
-----------------
A lungfish spends each dry season asleep underground, waiting for the waters to arrive before emerging. As the waterhole dries up at the end of the wet season, it will bury down to spend the dry season safely cocooned in the mud.

@q-miiproductions878 Interesting. That whole concept of aestivation is disturbing to me (read: icky) mainly because they can remain in that state for up to 5 years. I imagine a severe drought lasting 3-4 years, then upon a normal rainy season, all these slimy-looking creatures begin to emerge from the ground. I think it would be like a version of "Night of the Living Dead"! Eek!!

To think one footprint holds that much life 😮
For all those creationists looking at "transitional fossils"... this is the clip to watch. For one there are no "transitional" creatures per se, only creatures that adopt to their environment and successfully reproduce. There is no directional development towards something, only small, gradual adaptions based on the creatures present genetic make-up. The lungfish is not "stuck" on a development path but good enough adapted to its environment to successfully reproduce. But the lungfish shows how the transition happend from a fully aquatic creature to one that gradually adapts to a terrestrial life. Breathing atmospheric air, developing limbs for landbased locomation, developing features for surviving in dry conditions.

Or its been doing that method of survival simply because it was created that way..There is no proof that it had less or more capability than the current one being shown. And to top it off. If one or two or three types of fish can do it...they all should have been able to by now since its literally perfected the art of living that way.

@@SirDadbod You should try getting at least a basic understanding of what evolution is and how it works before you argue against it. The argument you put forward: "... If one or two or three types of fish can do it...they all should have been able to by now since its literally perfected the art of living that way." unfortunately demonstrates your complete ignorance in this matter. It is simply a variations of the argument "if humans evolve from apes why are there still apes around?" Maybe this will help you to comprehend the utter stupidity of that argument: If dogs evolved from wolves, why are there still wolves around? First of all, they are, which means something is wrong with your reasoning based on observation alone. Second, evolutionary adaptations happen in relation to your local environment. If some members of a species are exposed to different environmental conditions (co-live with humans) than others, they adapt accordingly. Populations that are not exposed to that environment do not change. Applied to fish: Some fish live in environments inhabit a habitat that is short on oxygen dissolved in water. So they adapt by evolving breathing that allows them breathing atmospheric air. Which puts some on the path to become terrestrial creatures. That does not mean - and this is important - all fish need to go that path, that it is their "purpose" to become terrestrial creatures. For tunas living in the high sea in oxygenated water, there is no advantage in being able to breath atmospheric air. So, why the f*ck "should they all have been ablet to do by now"?

@@omnivorous65 ok ill give u a great one...in order to trust in the evolution concept..it requires you to accept the notion that a 2000 pound block of mixed metal flying thru space,with enough time will become a bmw that doesnt even run...because the processes that it takes for that to happen arent even close to the amount of process taking place in a human body every second..nor are they statistically present for any living cell to come from any non living element...
This phenomenon not only underscores the incredible diversity of life on Earth but also highlights the ingenuity of nature in finding solutions for survival in various habitats.

Both gills and lungs? Evolution says that Gill's dissipate as long as are developed, so which is it lungs or gills but not both can be evolution! also this is the only fish on planet Earth out of the billions that this has ever happened to, sorry that's not Evolution that is creation once again Evolution didn't happen because this fish is not supposed to stay a fish, it's supposed to develop or evolve into a reptile! All life was created with the same seed inside of it to reproduce the same species, as this one has Anything that keep the lie going but guess what! Evolution didn't happen, it's a fraud This is not proof of evolution, once again this is proof of creation. Another fraud perpetrated on the weak minded that'll take anything or accept anything except that God created everything.

I heard about those Fishes. Not only are they from Africa, “Such as what we see here.” But also in South America & Australia. They’re one of the few Fish that haven’t changed in Millions of Years. At least there weren’t any Shoebills around to eat one of these Lungfish. I’ll have to wait & find out & see what the rest of this program has for us on the 1st week of November.

This dude may look like an eel crossed with a catfish, but they are slightly more closely related to coelacanths and tetrapods.
Using the mandible to wedge and pull along the ground was a form of locomotion I was not familiar with.

FIVE YEARS???? WTF! What The Fish!!
The firs vertebrate on land, burrowed in transient pool-beds ahead of receding waters, to be encrusted while gestating, laying and incubating spawn, awaiting seasonal tide, when emergence triggers hatching; mothers trudge to open-water overland some distance from their fry's puddle, their nursery until water levels rise sufficiently or they're forced to make a break for it on their own walking-fins. Adults scuttle, burrow between waves, and used the danger of stranding as an aquatic defense, I hypothesize.
How on earth they get the camera down there without alerting the fish
5 years???? Holy cow.

@sandorkovacs6974
3 ай бұрын
Primitive in an evolutionary context simply means that the said adaptation appeared many, many years ago, and usually more complex variations emerged from it as time went on. For example, the lung of a lungfish is more simple than that of a mammal or bird, and it is more similar to the first lungs that appeared millions of years ago.
*Now I realize that there's a fish who can have lung cancer*
"Breath air"
In Africa you see lung fish crawl out of peoples home when it’s build with mud during wet season
“It can survive like this for 5 years” … say what?!
it's funny we still call them fish when they are more closely related to us than they are to a tuna, or piranha.
