How old is the Australian lungfish?
usually 98 but the oldest Australian lungfish is 123
How many lungs do lungfish have?
Lungfish have 2 lungs but the Australian lungfish has 1.
How many eggs does a Australian lungfish lay at a time?
The Australian lungfish typically lays between 20 to 100 eggs at a time during its breeding season. These eggs are deposited in shallow waters, often attached to aquatic vegetation. The lungfish's reproductive strategy allows for a relatively small number of eggs, but the eggs are large and well-protected.
The lungfish always lives in oxygen-poor water and can do so because?
It can supplement its oxygen by using oxygen from air as well as water.
What is a barramundi?
A barramunda is an Australian species of fish, Latin name Neoceratodus forsteri, commonly known as the Queensland lungfish.

What are the 4 types of lungfish?
The four types of lungfish are the south American lungfish, the African lungfish
Are lungfish amnions?
Lungfish are not amniotes; they belong to a group called dipnoi, which are a type of fish. Amniotes are vertebrates that possess an amniotic egg, a characteristic that includes reptiles, birds, and mammals. Lungfish have adaptations for breathing air and can survive in low-oxygen environments, but they do not have the amniotic structure associated with amniotes. Therefore, while lungfish are an interesting evolutionary link, they do not fit the classification of amniotes.
How does your body obtain oxygen?
Our body obtain oxygen to our body by breathing.
What do you call fish that breathe oxygen?
All fish breathe oxygen. Oxygen is one of the ingredients required to make water. So, a fish that breathes oxygen is called a fish. Pretty much all living things require oxygen, but maybe you are talking about fish that breathe air? There are several types that can do this, including the African lungfish, several types of catfish, and snakeheads. African lungfish require air, and will actually drown in water if they do not have access to air. Anabantids like gouramis and bettas are also air-breathers. A little more about the African lungfish comment: When these were first discovered, scientists wanted to bring them back to the US for study. They would put the lungfish in shallow containers large enough for the fish to swim around in with a little airspace at the top, bring the fish home and find them all dead on arrival. The obvious conclusion: African lungfish can't be transported. Only later did scientists learn the lungfish has to approach the surface of the water at an angle in order to breathe. When they started bringing the lungfish home in deep containers--deeper than the fish are long--the fish were able to survive the journey.
When was Lungfish - band - created?
Lungfish - band - was created in 1988.
How did lungfish breathe?
Lungfish breathe using gills when they are in water, and can also utilize a primitive lung to breathe air when out of water. This dual respiratory system allows lungfish to survive in a variety of oxygen concentrations and environments.
