And said, “I’ve got this fish here. “I think you better come and look at it, “and sort of described it.” And he hustled down there and looked at it, and he says, “God, this is a coelacanth, “they’ve been extinct for 350 million years.” And they finally got it in, he dissected it and named it after her, Latimer, for Latimeria, for her last name and then chalumnae, which is the river that spills out into the Indian ocean there, where the captain caught it. The next one they found was up off of the Comoro Islands and I’m failing now to remember what it was named, but it was different from Latimeria. But with further research, they found out it was the same genus, same species, but it had lost some of its finage, so that’s why it got the wrong name to begin with. Now within the last 10 years or so, they’ve found other coelacanths down off of the Indonesian Islands. And that’s, I don’t know if it’s a different genus, but it certainly is a different species.
