1. queensland lungfish

   The Queensland Lungfish, also known as the Australian lungfish, is a type of lungfish species native to Queensland, Australia. It is one of the oldest living vertebrates in the world and can live up to 100 years. Unlike other lungfish species, it has a single lung and is capable of breathing air, allowing it to survive in oxygen-deprived water. This fish typically prefers still or slow-moving water and feeds on frogs, small fish, and invertebrates. It can grow to a size of over 1.5 meters and possesses a large, heavy body with large, overlapping scales.

1. Queensland lungfish

   The Queensland lungfish, Neoceratodus forsteri is the sole surviving member of the family Ceratodontidae and order Ceratodontiformes. It is one of only six extant lungfish species in the world. Endemic to Australia, the Ceratodontidae is an ancient family belonging to the subclass Sarcopterygii, or fleshy-finned fishes. Fossil records of this group date back 380 million years, around the time when the higher vertebrate classes were beginning to evolve. Fossils of lungfish almost identical to this species have been uncovered in northern New South Wales, indicating that Neoceratodus has remained virtually unchanged for well over 100 million years, making it a living fossil and one of the oldest living vertebrate genera on the planet. It is one of six extant representatives of the ancient air-breathing Dipnoi that flourished during the Devonian period and is the most primitive surviving member of this lineage. The five other freshwater lungfish species, four in Africa and one in South America, are very different morphologically to N. forsteri. The Queensland lungfish can live for several days out of the water, if it is kept moist, but will not survive total water depletion, unlike its African counterparts.
