Coelacanth

The coelacanth had been long believed, with the excavation of its fossils, to have become extinct seven thousand years ago. Since the recent discovery of a living coelacanth, research on the ecology and the process of animal adaptation has been continued throughout the world. The species is classified as “CRITICALLY ENDANGERED” in the Red List. Assembly instructions for the Paper Craft Model of the Coelacanth, widely known as a “living fossil”, may be downloaded from this website. A photo image of a completed model may be downloaded as well.
