The researchers claim that in the process their biological clocks are slowed down, they no longer eat, and their energy consumption is extremely low. This phenomenon of dormancy has always fascinated scientists, who hope that one day humans can also sleep. Lungfish have many traits in terms of soft tissue structure, development, physiology and behavior that are close to those of living amphibians and differ from other living fish.
The peculiarity of these fish is the "summer sleep", they will burrow into the ground during the summer dry water, wrap the body as a cocoon with secretions, and then pretend to die. Until the rainy season when the riverbed floods, this state of suspended animation without eating or drinking can last for months, or even years (when it does not dry up completely), and you have no chance of winning compared to its ability to sleep. Don't want to go out, simply don't eat or drink and sleep in the dry mud for a few years, and then say, this is how the African lungfish do it!
In the 19th century, because the flesh of the lungfish was pink, the local indigenous people in Oceania often used it as a type of salmon after catching it, and this fish has always been a food on people's plates. If you come across it, it is best not to eat it, because it is rare and is called a living fossil. Lungfish is a freshwater fish similar to coelacanth fish. In ancient times, it was a large number of people on the earth, and now there are still a few preserved and leftovers of its race, so it can be said to be a "living fossil". Lungfish have two sets of respiratory systems, in the water it breathes with gills, and in the dry season, when the river dries up, it will hide in the mud and breathe with its lungs. In a dormant state, lungfish can survive for up to 3-5 years.
