Genus Latimeria refers to a group of undersea creatures that are commonly known as coelacanths. These prehistoric fish are often referred to as living fossils due to their unique and unchanged physical features that have been preserved over millions of years. Synonyms for Genus Latimeria include Latimeria chalumnae and Livin fossil. These animals are found in deep-sea waters and are characterized by their bony structure and lobed fins. Despite being elusive, coelacanths are considered a significant discovery in the field of marine biology, and their continued existence has helped shed light on the origin and evolution of fish species.
