Diver: "it's looking right at me!"
Coelacanth:"Look at this guy diving in a button up shirt and khakis"
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
The fish is like "do you mind? Im trying to exist here."
Imagine if all fish harshly judge your look whenever they see you, and they not only can't speak but wouldn't say anything even if they could. They just silently judge you with their eyes
For real tho. Homie went diving in business casual
2:00 it's face is adorable. And the way the fins move and how fast it changed direction is amazing!
it really has a permanent 🙂
😂@@probablynotleo4340
sillycanth...
I remember when I was a kid, I'd read about these things in books about dinosaurs, and seeing footage of a real one is rather surreal
I have a copy of the original book, called "Old Four-legs" written about the Coelacanth and Marjorie Courtenay-Latimer, and written by Prof JLB Smith, renowned ichthyologist of the time. The book is surely long since out of print! If you ever find a copy, snap it up. Very dry and lacking in literary skill, but very exciting!
I’m the 500th like
Its the oldest living relative to all land creatures. back fins for legs and feet, front fins for arms and hands, a tail, gills which mammals and reptiles lost on land. jaws and teeth for chewing. They even carry their eggs internally through prenatal development and give birth to live young. They have all the properties of a land creature in water.
For something about 400 million years old it's insane to see
They lived after the flood of Noah so much more
To think that the coelacanth is actually more closely related to the men filming it than it is to any of the other fish swimming in the ocean with it is insane!
That's what it tells other fishes in a heated rap battle.
How is it so??
@@TjoaWeiHanthat fish you are looking at is about 330 to 450 million years old brother it was thought to be extinct but was found in the 1930s I believe but yes that what your looking at is very close to what humans would have been before what we are now
@@EclipseAudioLabs4806 so basically, Coelacanths are mermaids?
@@TjoaWeiHan Coelacanths are part of the sarcopterygian clade of vertebrates which also includes the lungfish and the tetrapods like salamanders, lizards, birds, whales and us humans whereas all of the other saltwater bony fish are actinopterygians! 🤯
Lungfish are the only other extant non-tetrapod sarcopterygians, but they are only found in freshwater.
The oldest known coelacanth fossils are over 410 million years old. Coelacanths were thought to have become extinct in the late cretaceous around 66 million years ago, but were rediscovered in 1938 off the coast of South Africa.
And they are nearly unchanged compared to their fossils.
Did you know?: Coelacanths are 42% related to humans?!
@@-MochiWochi- how?
I actually can't remember
@@joselitopuzon5620 because some of the living beings came to the Ocean some of fishes walk on land and evolve to mammals reptile etc.
I bet it didn't take them nearly as long to find it as it did for me to get one in Animal Crossing.
I hate when one "rare" fish is like super easy to catch and then there's others that are pretty much extinct in your town xD
Violent Talent really? We have like a billion of them in ark you can have one
I caught 3 in one day.
TheLeafyClone lmao tbh I see more saber tooth salmon in ark than these fellas
@@leafywashere4929
Thanks, now I don't have to die of hypothermia and drowning in survival evolved.
"Are u getting this?"
"No, I forgot to press record"
@Baraka Hagatanga It doesn't
Baraka Hagatanga *vegans don’t read Baraka’s comment*
@Baraka Hagatanga it will but hard to digest cuz it contains high amounts of oil, wax esters, urea, etc.
it can also cause diarrhea
*Look at those fins see how they move*
Nah eating the fish is basically eating the last lion.
It's surprisingly adorable.
I wish to hug it.
Also it's older than dinosaurs
@slim shady it's a prehistoric fish, so maybe it is
Just buy a plushie one in the Numazu Port Deep Sea Aquarium.
@I have Cancer Dinosaurs appeared around 50 million years ago, during the Triassic. These bois appeared during the Devonian, 400 million years ago. They survived the greatest mass extinction ever, the Permian.
Erick Villalva wait what???? 50 million years ago u sure you didn’t have a typo their?
This animal is actually breathtaking I caught myself looking in awe at just how majestic it is and it feels like it is straight out of prehistoric times completely unchanged like a living relic
well its not the same evolved 62 new ways but mostly the same
Amazing record of a creature that has survived 500 million years unchanged.
We must respect this form of early life.
Just to clarify, it has not survived 500 million years unchanged. Coelacanths are an entire order of fish, and we have two species of coelacanth living today. There have been many, many different species of coelacanth, with all different kinds living all kinds of ways. Think of another order of fish, catfish. There's not just one species of catfish, there's like 3000 of them. And in the 100 million years they've existed there have been many, many more. Same with coelacanths at one time.
@@JasonJBrunetOne would expect differentiation over such a long span of time and with divergent ecosystems.
On my studio property in WV, there are fossils of lycopods larger than modern pine, and today their ancestors grow in the same location but they are only a few inches tall.
because there is no evolution
@@JasonJBrunetLMAO TY
@DigitalAlpha what
Is it weird if I get a little teary-eyed when I watch this?. I just thought that for this specie to survive for so long is just beautiful, it is a wonder. I hope they are left alone to reproduce and restore their numbers. I mean, maybe there's far more than we think, humans haven't been here too long, nothing compared to Coelacanths.
As a matter of fact this fish is critically endangered.
I know right? i find these fish downright amazing. I sincerely hope that humans don't end their journey.
Dylan Bourassa Aw geez they are? I thought that might be the case but.. damn, now i'm all bummed out
Jack Sim It's true. They are endangered.
They are full of oils high in urea and indigestible wax esters. Nobody eats them because they cause gastrointestinal distress and explosive projectile diarrhea. They have no natural predators for the same reason, anything that tries to eat them will get violently sick.
These are not "primitive" fish at all btw they have some fairly advanced features not found in any other modern fish. Obviously they've been doing some evolving in the last 60 million years. Same basic design but with a lot of improvements added on.
I love how one diver is wearing a diving suit, and the other diver is wearing a normal outfit.
ChickenTato I’m glad someone else thought that was strange haha
ikr XD
Saw that too and I think it's denim wear! 😂
He's the cameraman no wonder
When your custom character appears in a cutscene
'Look, just fuck off with that light will you?'
haha looking for this! thanks for the laugh
Fish said it not me
It's amazing that despite the fact we have fossils of these guys, they managed to survive.....millions of years....living besides the most ancient of creatures
It’s so cool that Animal Crossing is helping to introduce people to these amazing animals haha.
"helping" from a series that goes back to 2001? You mean HELPED as the series goes back to 2001!
@@jackson5116 you know it still going right?? And new animals are being added to the game :I
Lol, Dog Island taught me bout’ em back in 2011-2012-2013
They’re cute fish tho I wanna swim with one
Yeah
Like how Transformers introduced us to unique vehicles?
They're like the underwater paparazzi.
true lol
leave the fish be jeez
@@arthurvandeputte7898But look at those fins!
A creature we thought had been extinct since prehistoric times is actually still alive, and almost unchanged from its original time on this planet.

"Holy fish sticks! I caught a coelacanth! Am I saying it right?" -New Leaf
Caught one 10 minutes ago!!😅
NancyDorothy sea low canth
Yo ive like 3 of those on Animal crossing already
Since starting _New Leaf_ I've caught a total of 13 coelacanths so far.
@game4brains 123 13?! Wow. You must be a god then.
Is anyone else randomly getting this in their recommendations? And plays New horizons?
Sir Cuccenstein Right here!
Sir Cuccenstein
Bruh I’m playing new horizons right now
yep!
Yep
Yeah! anyone on southern hemisphere? I just wanna fish!!
me when it starts raining on my animal crossing island
allie FINALLY I found someone 😂
I'm fishing for one now scuba diving
I caught 6 in one day and now I have 9
just caught one a few hours ago
I caught 2 unexpectedly in 1 day during the rain. The first giant fish i got was the oarfish
They're actually so cool. Discovering they still lived was literally like finding a t-rex alive today.
Not at all lol
It's like they've racing with sharks except their numbers and updates
Beautiful!
Random, but I can't get over the fact that the one dude went diving in regular clothes, in a Ocean, with God knows what other kind of other creatures down there.
no sea creature, that we know of, was bigger than the blue whale. but there are possibilitys.
the ocean is still undiscovered
yeah, but wouldn't big sea creatures have been found already?
They can't be in the deep, theres no food down there.
I'm personally not qualified to say they would or wouldn't. What I can say is, you never know the way creatures adapt what could be hidden from us. Mime_Jr
It was a power move
. Coelacanth, check
. Frilled shark, check
. Giant squid, check
Alright. LETS BRING ON T.REX!!!!
Thylacine first
+Jelly Kid yep yep. Totally right. 😂
+ASTRAYGREENFRAME then Mammoth.

yess
*****
hmm..never heard of it
I think what's really neat about this animal is the fact that it's top fin is able to move on it's own along with the other fins, so enamouring
Absolutely stunning, nothing left to say. It looks just like the other prehistoric fishes you’d find in a museum. Also resembles a lungfish too if you look at the facial structure.
Okay, all you need now is a Wailord, and you go and awaken the Regi trio.
Yep! That's the same thing I was thinking of
+datRed You've got that right!
lol
haha
can someone please explain what this is?
I know that this is a creature thats been around for millions of years, but I thought the most amazing part was the pattern it had on its scales. it was beautiful
Real men dive in khakis.
no

animal crossing reference but ok
I love how this comment section is filled with Pokémon and animal crossing fans
Im both hehe 😚
You could just say Nintendo fans
Wait Pokemon? Whats that about? I only knew about animal crossing and ark for coelacanths.
Yeah where's the coelacanth in Pokémon

Frederik Olsen yeah, annoying as fuck
Frederik Olsen how is it fake? it matter of fact IS a voice over?
+danthaman7777
Underwater divers with a scuba breathing apparatus in their mouths can't talk.
+Frederik Olsen It's shame because the beautiful footage is ruined by the awful ADR... at least dirty it up a little guys
I saw this on TV and immediately knew how powerful it was to see this, this fish has been around for so long, so many species both land and water have came and had their eras and gone extinct but this fish is still here.. just amazing to see. I jst hope hmans don't mess up the deepest parts of the ocean like we love to mess up the land and the more shallow waters
The dude dressed up like he's about to meet that coelacanth's parents for the first time really makes this
If these species still exist, i don't think it's not impossible to find more prehistoric marine reptiles down there. It's amazing and exciting.
I remember researching this fish from 2nd grade when i saw it in a book which cataloged all dinosaurs. Couldn't even pronounce the name then but i studied throughout school and after. It was supposed to be extinct for millions of years! Just incredible! I want to travel to africa and see one now
After hearing the name as a kid, I spent years rolling it around my mouth without any idea what animal it referred to. It must be one of the most beautiful, most perfectly enchanting words I have ever had the pleasure to know. I would find myself muttering it reflectively at times, in a sort of reverent trance, chanting those beautiful and strange syllables. The silent letters and ambiguous 'c's slide around to make the word come alive- I sought to pronounce them as no man had pronounced before, groping in the etymological void for meaning. Finally last year, I looked the thing up on Wikipedia. I cannot describe my rapture. Such a fitting beast for the name I could never have imagined. Ancient and mysterious, a fish which should be extinct. A fish unchanged in shape since its cousin won the race onto dry land. A fish almost gaudy with beautiful limbs and scales, and all the more adept in its element. Lurking beneath the world, a lonely relic lost and forgotten among the tides of seas and ages. I pray for them to live forever as an eternal reminder to the world of its own youth.
weirdo much
That's a beautiful reflection. Thank you.
bro what

“Blast From the Past!”
“I caught a Coelacanth! Think postitive. Be a coela-CAN!”
Real
I fully intend to go South Africa hopefully within the next five years specifically to go diving and hopefully see one in person. They are my favourite fish and one of my favourite animals, and I do not want to miss the opportunity to see one since they are critically endangered. It will require a tonne of training and equipment, but my life would not be complete without seeing one of these masterpieces.
well its not the same evolved 62 new ways but mostly the same
It is literally your Ancestor bro
HOLY FISH STICKS! I caught a coelacanth! Am I saying that right?
Quick throw an Ultra Ball
T_T
I thought the same thing!
On this, go for a master ball.
Come on guys, it's under the sea use a dive ball
This thing took too long so I used a Timer Ball.
aw it just wants to be left alone
Animal Crossing introduced me, and these ancient creatures are just breathtaking, no doubt they're my favorite fish. I'd love to get the chance to make a dive like this for such an encounter.
Had I been diving there I most certainly would have been doing cartwheels !! I just can't imagine seeing with my own eyes a Coelecanth . I would bow to it, I would be honored to be in its very presence !!🙂
IT'S THAT BIG!?
oh hell no, I'll stay in the pool thank you.
Colonel Sanders stick to the chickens man
It doesn't even look that big
It used to be way bigger back when dinosaurs were around
It's incredible when an animal gets it so right that it no longer needs to change
The largest species was around 8 to 10 feet long
419 million years ago it was said to be extinct, but here it is. Amazing.
Forever Alone for 419 million.
It’s amazing that this beautiful fish species is still around.
Most memorable thing i saw in a museum as a kid. This delights me.
They thought this was extinct and were proven wrong, so anyone up for finding megalodon?
Good luck with that.
Dylan Bourassa Why.
Ben Tennyson Because it will eat you that's why.

+Conveniently Placed Goat, So does Deadmau5.
they are the most endangered species in the world and considered a living fossil. but thats up to you
I'm amazed by how deep they are! does anyone know the depth they might be at??
Those photos were taken by divers at 360 feet. I watched the original video these scenes were borrowed from...
Coelacanths are such amazing creatures. They have such a primordial design. Their tails are more reminiscing of prehistoric marine fish than the modern types.
And though not dinosaurs, do look really saurian.
Don’t know what’s more amazing: the prehistoric fish, or the guy who learned to talk through a rebreather...
Those lines were so cringe it was obvious they were just added in in post
You can find these bad boys outside Sootopolis, just swim around
Reb Gah forget it, Sootopolis is dead.
Get yourself an island scan to get A Relicanth!.
Reb
Amazing reference. It's a shame Relicanth isn't very viable because I love its design and inspiration.
I've heard of it, but never really paid attention to how monumental of a discovery it was until recently. I also never realized how large or interesting they were. Absolutely awesome.
But don't, for a second think we're done finding new (and possibly prehistoric) species in the ocean depths. We know more about the universe than we do the ocean deep.
thats a magnificent fish....wow
Over dramatic fake conversation aside, this is incredible. A real once in a lifetime experience for the crew - something they can tell their grandkids about. I'd give my back teeth to have been there.
THIS IS SO COOL!!!!! I LOVE THE COELACAHTH. THIS IS A SUCH AN EPIC LAZARUS TAXA!!!
After they found it they should of taken pictures and then gotten the hell out of there. They were stressing it out with all the lights.
dude, that fish species has been through a hell of a lot worse, the thing survived multiple mass extinctions and has been around for countless millenia. some lights aren't going to bother it to any point worth stressing over
Hermoso este pez...
el secreto mejor guardado dentro de la historia de la evolución de la vida...
un fascinante y espectacular celacanto...
Oh my God, I get goosebumps every time I see this video...
I've seen another video where they found multiple Coelacanths in a Fish Market somewhere in North Africa and Indonesia (I hope we don't fish them to extinction)...
This makes you wonder, If Coelacanths survived multiple Mass Extinctions, what other prehistoric creatures survived???...
I for one believe that we will find more of such prehistoric creatures coming back to life as we venture deeper and further into the ocean...
I would love to see the Megalodon, Mosasaurus, Rhizodont (fresh Water fish) and Orthacanthus (fresh Water fish) making a come back too...
One of the species are the frilled shark (They are living fossils, like the coelacanth)
It may be too much to hope for, but I hope that these beautiful creatures are left alone and are ale to come back up to more numbers and continue to be there. I feel so sorry for so many animals that are endangered.
Untouched by evolution for millions of years. Just fantastic
That sure is a pretty turtle.
+Mill Shady clearly it's a cat
Mill Shady listen here you little fuck, I know a cat when I see one.
please, please. it's obviously a chicken
Are you blind? that's a Alaskan Bull Worm
Jedi Koala it's a sea dog
Its strange to imagine it doesn't even know its almost identical ancestors go back 400 million years, its unaware of the time that has passed, since it evolved to this stable state.
TL;DR: this fish is old, downright ancient, so much that it has more in common with reptiles and mammals (like us) than with modern fish.
This got me emotional and I don't know why. It's just seeing such a beautiful creature and knowing how rare it is just makes me sad.
What a majestic looking creature. You can see that it has muscular bony fins that probably, at some time turned into legs! Incredible!
Is anyone watching this after catching a ceolacanth in animal crossing new horizens?
Yes 😹😹!
Got my first one today
the after recorded talking is really annoying. like kinda cringe-worthy i had to ignore it to really appreciate the fish.
Anyone else annoyed by the comments made by the divers?
That was some idiot dubbing over the footage.
The real narrator was right at the end of the video.
I'd wager the comments aren't even the actual divers, but some studio recorded stuff added in later for a shitty attempt at dramatic effect.
It was really lame and detracted from the actual video.
Me Meson It may have been done to prevent the video getting pulled or the account banned over copyright nonsense.
I think it's from the original clip from the actual source.
I love that the guy jumped in with his collared shirt and kahkis, like: "I don't care I'm seeing this thing with my own eyes! There is no way on earth I am going to miss this."
My eyes watered as if I was looking at the beauty of life.
Its amazing how ACNH make this fish accurately in the game... Compare this with the one in the game, it seriously looks the same
ARK SURVIVORS, UNITE
Lol thats why im here, remebered hearing they were alive
Yes my brother the reason they put it in ark is because there has been fossils of them dating back to the dinosaurs time
never forget lol
AYEEEEE
AYE !
BLAST FROM THE PAST!!!
It’s so rare video,I appreciate NatioGio to serve this video on youtube!
What a beautiful and fascinating animal. thank you for these recordings.
Read a book about the discovery of Coelacanth, when I was a kid, 50 years ago, got to see a real one preserved in formaldehyde at the Vancouver aquarium when I was a teenager. Fascinating to see this live footage.
Why do they keep describing it as ugly carcass form of anything is that but look at it in life its just majestic and beautiful!
you fools its a relicanth. Catch it!
One step closer to getting the Regis.
When I was a kid I only see this fish in books, and now I'm seeing it alive, the background music really gives me chills
What a graceful motion of this creature!
The fake audio is a bit cheesy, but it's still an interesting video.
Same here.
I know them from ps1 game when i was a kid, at first i thought they were not a real fish and then i tried googling them and found out they're real but extinct, and then a few years ago a fisherman from my country caught 1 of them accidentally im happy but also sad he died because got caught.
The reason we thought it was extinct is because we're so arrogant in thinking we know everything when more than 75 % of the ocean is unexplored.
it was extinct to our knowledge
No, because everything else died and oxygen levels were dropped killing anyone who didn't move to land, barely any survived,
Make that 90%
It was thought to be extinct because they are found in the fossil record until 80 million years ago and then none in rocks younger than that. It looked like it had gone extinct because when an animal type disappears from the fossil record that is usually what it means. We don't just assume something is extinct because we don't see any of them and we don't arrogantly think we know everything. We follow the evidence and sometimes that evidence is misleading, but when we find that out we adjust our views.
@@Neneset that's why I'm annoyed with "trust the science"...until the "science" learns something new then it's "whoops! Ok, now we're right do what we say until we change our minds again"!
I remember the first time I read about this fish it Blew my Mind . I was fascinated with it and it still blows my mind !
Can we take a moment to appreciate that one of these guys looks like he came from the post office? Blue button up shirt khakis and a g shock watch?! I couldn't see his shoes but i bet they hard bottoms. My mans is the chaperone at the school dance tonight.
Deadmau5 brought me here.
Just caught this thing yesterday in Animal Crossing New Horizons
0.34 - that's what my wife is always telling me...
Its so beautiful to see this creature and the way its locomoting in the water its like we are looking at a last preserved natural history moment from millions of years ago, i know animals keep evolving and even if coelancath is called "living fossil" its different from the extinct species but it still is magnificent to at least have this one, it gives a good idea how its extinct relatives might have been like when they were alive
It's pretty amazing that this fish species has survived for hundreds of millions of years. There was an article that didn't make sense though stating it was thought they went extinct with the dinosaurs and then preceded to name different times it was found 1938, 1950s, 2000, 2010.
