The local fishermen there are very familiar with the Coelacanth. They told scientists that they catch it in their nets all the time. In 1998, a vacationer caught two more specimens off the coast of Indonesia. These Coelacanths were brown instead of blue. The Coelacanth is one of the most significant finds of the twentieth century.
Some scientists even think it is a cousin to the fish that grew legs and came ashore.
That would make the Coelacanth related to humans. Coelacanth can grow up to five feet long, and can weigh up to 150 pounds. Fully-grown males are smaller than females, and they range in color from blue to brown. They have distinctive white flecks all over them, and scientists can even recognize and identify individual fish by using the flecks as a 'map'. The backbone of the Coelacanth is not really even a 'bone'.
