In 1938, a living, prehistoric relic was discovered. A trawler docked in East London, South Africa with the usual catch of shark, ray, and ratfish but found something unusual. A huge purple fish that seemed to have limblike appendages instead of fins. The discovery of the coelacanth caused a sensation in the scientific world because it is the only living member of a very old group of fish, the Actinistians. A sole survivor of a line of fish believed to be extinct.
