The 90-year-old Australian lungfish in San Francisco, USA, attracts attention

On March 14, local time, an Australian lungfish named Methuselah swam in the water tank of the Science Museum in California, USA. Its keeper, Alan Jane, said Methuselah came to San Francisco from Australia in 1938 and is now about 90 years old, the world's oldest ornamental fish on record. Measuring 1.2 meters and weighing 18.1 kilograms, Methuselah loves fresh figs, has a mild nature, and loves to interact with keepers. Researchers believe that this primitive fish with both lungs and gills reflects the evolutionary link between fish and amphibians.
