Geocache Description:


Coelacanth

I think they should change the coelacanths name, because if it's still around after all this time, it's obviously coelacan.

In 1938, a South African museum curator was sorting through the local fishermen's daily catch and looking for unusual creatures when she spotted a coelacanth, an ancient fish thought to be extinct for millions of years and known only through fossils. As with many cryptids, the coelacanth was well known to local inhabitants, who called the fish "gombassa". Why a couple of species of coelacanth are still around while most are extinct is UNKNOWN!
