    Fun fact:
    The man who found the coelacanth was the grandfather of famous wildlife biologist and conservationist, Forrest Galante
    Forrest now has a TV show called Extinct or Alive where he follows in his grandfather's footsteps and attempts to rediscover animals previously thought to be extinct
    He was successful on a few occasions, the show is well worth a watch for anyone who likes any sort of wildlife documentaries

      Yeah, it funny how NOW we act all confident about exactly how many there are left and where they are… considering us humans only just recently found all but 3 of em.
      🤔….IdK!? These sneaky ‘Concealacanth’ b**tards seem pretty damn crafty to me. They just up and stopped evolving and stayed hidden? They’re patiently waiting us humans out, biding their time in a state that allowed to to survive the last mass extinction event. They’re waiting for the next one THEN they’ll make their move, all come out, finish fully evolving, and rule the planet as some kind of super intelligent, species of amphibious fish people…who already know what they’ll need post climate change. Lol. They’re probably already thinking 🐸…💭 ‘Dopey humans! If ya planned on melting the ice caps ya should’ve grew your lungs but kept your gills…like us”
      Come to think of it, it’s probably not a great sign that these fishy geniuses are only now, in recent decades, coming up to check on us close enough where three of em have been caught already.

    Great presentation. I wish you had mentioned Hans Fricke, the German biologist who was the first person to film the Coelacanth in its natural habitat. He gave the keynote talk at the 1988 Society of Vertebrate Paleontologists convention on Drumheller, Alberta. It was a memorable speech. He had a lot of trouble getting funds for a "submersible" (as he called it). As he put it, after WWII the German people weren't very interested in submersibles, and he had to find private sponsor.

    Thanks for the telling/updating of this story. It's long been one of my favorites. The first time I heard it, I'm pretty sure Marjorie Courtenay-Latimer was described as a secretary or assistant. (As in not an avid naturalist.) And I think at some point I heard that the local fisherman knew all about it. But perhaps the local knowledge was a confusion with the Indonesian coelacanth.

    As usual Arran, another thoughtfully presented video.
    As an aside, Charles Darwin proposed that Natural Selection was the mechanism through which evolution occurs, focusing on genetic adaptations and mutations that make an organism better suited to its environment. Naturalists, scientists and philosophers in other fields had been exploring and publishing works about the foundations of evolution for over 100 years before Darwin published his landmark On the Origin of Species. To credit Darwin with coming up with the theory of evolution is not accurate, it's just that natural selection isn't an idea with holes. It's one of the most solid theories in science, and as such made the musings of earlier contributors mostly forgettable.

This shit was hilarious, basically Wlberforce joked about Huxley, known as Darwin's "bull dog", having an ape for a grandmother. And Huxley retaliated that it is better to have an ape for a grandmother than of an ignorant moron who plunges into topics he knows jack shit about. And after his words everyone jumped from their seats and one woman fainted. I just love when scientist community becomes overdramatic. This debate also happened at the opening of Oxford University Museus.

      Yes, Kepler & other heliocentric scientists faced the religious scorn back then. Didn't they? It's a joke for science to be not treated as science.
      People need to provide more evidence than sticking to their beliefs religiously.
      This is why I think pseudo science must be classified as a new religion.
      A true scientist will be amused when somebody proves him wrong. A pseudo scientist will indoctrinate themselves as people of various religion do to themselves and their group.
      Is it any different or is it one of those basic fallacies of man?

      I've noticed that most of those run for 90 seconds. The channels promise a set amount of "airplay" to their sponsor. It's never random, so just skip ahead 80 seconds when they start. You'll usually be close to the end of the ad. ✌️

    The irony that discovering it is not extinct pushing it closer to extinction, our reaction should be figuring out how to preserve them as we don't have many animals on earth like that, we could learn a lot by studying these fish.

      Whether we discovered it or not wouldn't have changed the fact that we would still be doing "human activity" in the ocean. It would have gone extinct without us realising that it was there to begin with. Now that we know it's there, we can, hopefully, preserve it.

    For a fish that is 400 million years old, I imagine there were varieties of it ... some preferred shallow water and some preferred deeper water. After the asteroid wiped out the dinosaurs, the shallow water variety died out, but the deep sea version persisted. It probably didn't "disappear" for 66 million years, many people probably encountered them they just didn't know it was this epically historic species.

    I still remember being around 12 and going on a field trip to Scripps Institute where we saw a Coelacanth on display, suspended in an aquarium of formaldehyde to let you imagine it being alive and just hanging out there. I was enamored by seeing an actual animal that is so rare and beautiful. I am now 60 and a home marine aquarist with a few living reef aquariums and one my favorite fish is the comet fish (Calloplesiops altivelis) which for some reason give me a Coelacanth vibe since they are very exotic fish in the way they look and move, very unique among other reef fish. Just google images of Marine Betta to see what I mean.
