its skeleton has changed
The coelacanth, a deep-sea fish thought to have gone extinct around 66 million years ago, is often considered a "living fossil" because it has changed very little over millions of years. Its stability in form is largely due to its successful adaptations to its specific ecological niche, which has remained relatively stable. Additionally, the coelacanth's deep-sea habitat may have reduced selective pressures for significant evolutionary changes, allowing it to thrive without the need for drastic adaptations.
A Coelacanth is a rare type of fish and means hollow spine in Greek. A Coelacanth was considered a living fossil as it did not evolve over its millions of years. It was thought to have gone extinct millions of years ago but was rediscovered in 1938.

No, the coelacanth is a carnivorous fish. It feeds on other fish and cephalopods.
You can catch a coelacanth when it is raining or snowing
The scientific name for the coelacanth is Latimeria chalumnae.
The living coelacanth, Latimeria spp., can reach a total length of 2 metres.
The Coelacanth lives in the Indian Ocean, ranging anywhere from South Africa to India, and Indonesia.
To catch a coelacanth, it must be raining or snowing- anything else is not suitable weather for the coelacanth. Just search in the ocean from night to morning, and if the fish is large, it should be a coelacanth.
