A rare creature which is a sort of
link between fish and reptile is now
on view at the New York zoo. It is
called the lungfish and its ancestry
has been definitely traced back 20,000,-
000 years. The fish was caught in
Mary river in Australia. At present it
is housed in a large glass aquarium.
However, the freak thrives, on land
as well as in water. Zoo authorities
finally hit upon a menu of ground
meat and fish. When the lungfish
comes out of the water it makes its
home in the mud, drilling a cellular
home, It will not partake of food ex­
cept at night and eats nothing when
living on land. It has a pair of lungs
that sustain it when it is living the
high and dry life and gills to make it
at home in the water. When in the
water the lungfish never come to the
surface.
