The African lungfish, commonly referred to as the mudfish, possesses the remarkable ability to breathe air, enabling it to survive on land. This adaptation allows the species to endure prolonged periods of drought by entering a state of dormancy within burrows of hardened mud beneath dried streambeds. A 1935 documentary captured the moment one such lungfish was revived from this dormant state. Remarkably, the African lungfish can survive without water for several months. | Canitellstevekoozer

The West African lungfish has been on Earth for over 400 million years — and for good reason. When drought strikes, it burrows into the mud, forms a mucus cocoon, and enters a deep sleep called aestivation. In this state, it can survive up to 3 years without food or water, breathing through a tiny air hole until rain returns. A true survivor of evolution’s toughest tests. ️ #NatureFacts #Lungfish #Survival #AnimalAdaptations #ShortsViral | Known Oddities | Facebook

The West African lungfish is an ancient species that has survived on Earth for more than four hundred million years. Known for its remarkable resilience, it can endure extreme droughts by burrowing into the mud and forming a hardened mucus cocoon around itself. During this state, called aestivation, the lungfish slows its metabolism to a near standstill and can survive for up to three years without food or water, breathing through a tiny air hole until the rains return.
