hengityspisaroille
Hengityspisaroille, also known as lungfish, are a group of primitive fish that have lived on Earth for over 300 million years. They are characterized by their unique respiratory system, which allows them to extract oxygen from the air using specialized organs called lungs. This adaptation has enabled lungfish to survive in both aquatic and terrestrial environments, making them one of the few fish species capable of breathing air.
Lungfish belong to the class Sarcopterygii, which also includes coelacanths and tetrapods (four-limbed vertebrates). They are
