"Coelacanth" (pronounced as see-la-kanth) is a prehistoic fish that existed 400 millions years ago. Interestingly, a few were caught by fishermen in the last century.  They were mostly found Comoro Islands. About 4 were caught off Sulawesi, Indonesia. I was watching Channel U in which one taiwanese artiste goes to Indonesia in search of this fish. I was laughing in disbelief that they actually had a budget for such mission impossible.  |

Not exactly mission impossible.They were filmed near the shores of Indonesia before.
This fish lives in the deep waters, found mostly near Africa.It was discovered only in the 1930s'.Human knew they exist from the fossils, but we do not know that they are actually still alive till the 30s. More info here. http://www.dinofish.com/ |
