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.

I am basically a fish that breathes oxygen...
that's right
All fishes "breathe" oxygen
Difference being that gills absorb oxygen from the water while this fish uses air
Everything tastes like rust but with a different flavor
@@amaulana090 FISH not fishes
❤❤😂@@twonumber22
There's something incredible bizarre about seing a fish surfacing and gasping for air lmao
They have evolved
But the most weird thing is, lungfish have some anatomically similarities with land dwelling animal including human
@@prasetyodwikuncorojati2434 they’re genetically the closest living relatives to land dwelling vertebrates
@@prasetyodwikuncorojati2434probably because they're evolving to be land animals.

The lung fish is an absolutely fascinating creature!

Up to 5 years 😳
@@emmao109 YES, that part got a reaction out of me, too!
I have seen some other shows, featuring these tough little ombre's. But, I don't recall hearing THAT.
Nature...consistently blows my mind!
at one point every animal was like that, even us. we still have old gill muscles that sometimes spasm causing hiccups
Well on a small scale it's like a WHALE!
(Because like whales they have to breath air)
Fun fact: An Australian variant of the Lungfish actually has both gills AND lungs! It can breathe in and out of water.
Of course, Australia is a different planet!
They can’t aestivate, though.
@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 😮
woah sheesh, u telling me he just AFK in the mud for 5 years?
tierzoo could make a video about this fish
What is afk
It means "away from keyboard" but is also just used to mean idle/away@@ChrisHarris2288
away from keyboard
@ayeshak9309 thanks mate 👍
Evolution is absolutely astonishing. Even fish can practice deep meditative states to conserve energy and prolong life. Insane to comprehend this.
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.
Life, uh... well you know the rest.
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...
Love how this 2 minute video was taken over the course of a few months
everybody gangsta ‘til the fish starts walking 🏝 🐟
Admirable the work of the cameraman!
LUNGFISH: I had to live in this cruel world.
Truly a primordial ooze moment! So cool 😎🤯
WOW! 5yrs?!!
Amazing. I'm not even sober and I'll still remember this. Thank you
Africa is so beautiful with so many hidden gems literally♥️
yes except the people
@@incognitobowl 💀
go live in africa
@@incognitobowlI know right, if only they stopped letting Europeans steal their resources.
@@KochoStojank0v 🗿 they are not hidden, are they?
Truly an amazing creature
"The Fish That Breathes Oxygen"
aka all of them?
Yeah they meant air
A beautiful amazing fish love her
This is probably the most bizarre thing I've seen a fish do. I didn't even know they did this .
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.
Absolutely amazing!
This is kinda sad. If you actually think about it
It’s amazing how they’ve adapted to their surroundings. Probably one of our greatest survivors - over 400 million years.
Hibernate for 5 years..incredible!!
athiests be like: "go grandpa"
This is incredible
Using the mandible to wedge and pull along the ground was a form of locomotion I was not familiar with.
All fish breathe oxygen. There is simply a difference in where they get it.
Yes but majority of them use gills except fish such as the lungfish which can use both gills and lungs
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.
@@jimmybiggs9856 I'm a believer and i get why Evolution is wrong i can disagree but evolution can happen to some point not endlessly like they all believe. The world that our Lord created is a powerful and amazing machine it can addapt to many things.
And you won't needed to bring all that to say the other commenter was wrong. Even in the video it says that he need to get to he surface every few minutes to breath when underwater. So he doesn't have gills.
@@alunkard-geovane2685 Evolution is both endless and also has a point. Evolution helps life forms adapt and survive its environment - and this is endless because the environment is constantly changing over time. The Catholic Church, most Jews, and many Protestant Christians have accepted evolution as the mechanism of the Judeo-Christian God.
@Alunkard -Geovane
MAKE SOME EFFORT TO DO YOUR OWN RESEARCH LAZY BOY - it has BOTH lungs and gills
(evolution is a million long year process- very very very slow)
Fascinating mudfish
Incredible
Wow.. Amazing 👌🏽
Lungfish are my favorite animal 💜
5 YEARS….DAM!!!!
I never knew there was a fish out there that breath air wow amazing discovery tysm
Another example is in a petstore near you. Check out the Betta fish, they do not have a lung, but a different air breathing organ. You can see them every now and then, gulping air from the surface.
This dude may look like an eel crossed with a catfish, but they are slightly more closely related to coelacanths and tetrapods.
Cute fish
We're seeing the missing link between fish and amphibians.
Nature's beautiful ❤️
Wish there was a documentary on bichir ,its like nobody ever did one
Looks like evolution right in front of our eyes being live.
Lungfish:should gone to land like my cousin joe he has a huge family now!!!!!
So great
Beautiful
How on earth they get the camera down there without alerting the fish
Wow!
UHH-MAZING!!!😮 THAT WAS SUPER INCREDIBLE TO LEARN ABOUT AND ACTUALLY SEE THE LUNGFISH WALKING ON GROUND!!! OUTTA THE WATER!!!😮 WWOWW!!!🤓 WE HAVE AN INCREDIBLY PHENOMENAL GOD AND CREATOR!!! THANKS FOR SHARING!!! 😃👍🏽🙋🏽♀️🔥🙏🏽👑✝️📖🔥
It's a damn mudkip!
WOW!😮
Yes . Its true . Si Many times i caught this fish during fishing
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.
Wow.. living fossil
5 years???? Holy cow.
This fish is cute ❤
This lung fish looks like it is the result of matting between a fish and some amphibian
Um.
All fish breathe oxygen.
You mean 'air'.
Ushon tok ampo kanninne lu.. 👍
And what about whales and dolphins?
That is an oxygen fish that I ever seen in my life can you believe me guys? I love lungfish
5 years..!😮
facts : lung fish ,some catfish and also most of the channa/snakehead can breath out of the water without water rumming down
they come up the surface to breath air ;)
I can’t wait to get one for my fish tank
Awasome fabulous video
if only a man can live like this... no eating for five years... then there will be no more greed in the heart of every man.
no greed, just evil. evil killing humans and animals for fun. and being protected by "the law"
FIVE YEARS???? WTF! What The Fish!!
every fish breathes oxygen. every living animal breathes oxygen. gills just allow aquatic creatures to pull oxygen out of the water.
Thank you I thought I was the only one that took science class in elementary school to understand that all living creatures breathe oxygen in one form or another thank you for schooling these people.
@@jimmybiggs9856 yeah, dumb titles like this really makes you question the accuracy in these videos 🤣
@@jimmybiggs9856 damn someone better get that elementary school geacher fires then
@@jimmybiggs9856 Uuugh, not every living creature breath oxigen 🤓
@emptyglass7867 I'm a teacher, many are not aware of this. You clearly are not a part of the educational system. These dumb titles really are misleading people.
Why is no one talking about how cute the turtle is
Jeremy Wade caught one on the River Monsters…
Their gills are capable for consume Oxygen from water and air!
Know those bumps on the roof of your mouth? Those used to be gills.
Dude’s got it all backwards lol!
How does it breathe under the mud?
WOW
Can live in this state for 5 years?
Guys, this is what some of your oldest grandparents used to look like. 💀
Nice
Wow 5yrs
cool
wow
So pretty!
❤❤❤❤
Bro forgot to evolve
All fish breathe air. They just do it another way than us. ^^
Subhan Allah
0:28 *AUUGHHH*
Lungfish is my totem we call it mmamba in our language (luganda) from central Uganda what I can this fish is special God created it in a special way the stuff it does just wondering
5 years
Don't all fish breathe oxygen?
The fish that beathes air
and in 100 of millions years it hasn’t grown legs
Yeah but plenty of their relatives did
Noce
I am one too
it's funny we still call them fish when they are more closely related to us than they are to a tuna, or piranha.
“It can survive like this for 5 years”
… say what?!
Lung fish could never, decided whether to live on land or in water.
Had it evolved into land creatures, it would be running like a cheetah.
It can survive up to 5 YEARS???? Wow!
I heard they can survive up to 80 years
कौनसी मछलीया खुले मे रहती है.
how do african lung fish became as a channa barca in india
All does
