Living Fossils
Living fossils are NOT:
-really old people
-dinosaur skeletons that come to life at night
-really, really old people
-zombie mammoths
Living fossils ARE creatures that have been around so long and have changed so little that the ones alive today look just like the fossils we find.
My favorite example of a living fossil is the frilled shark.
These sharks live in very deep waters, so there aren’t many photos of them. Actually, people usually only see them in shallow water when they are dying or dead. I know, it’s sad sad. But they’re awesomely ugly and cool.
Other examples of living fossils:-horseshoe crab
-coelecanth
-nautilus
-crocodile
-a whole bunch of
insects and other junk
(Psst… while living fossils are not related to zombies, this does not mean you shouldn’t be worried about zombies.)
