The fossils were not dug out, so Wang Xiaoshan and Captain Shi all stood by the pit.

The staff who were digging for fish fossils in the pit felt very stressed. How could they still supervise the digging of fossils?

After about half an hour, the fish fossils from under the pit were finally dug out. Captain Shi immediately asked someone to take tools to fix the fossils in the pit and then move them out.

The fossils were dug out, but the soil above them was not completely cleaned.

The staff who were digging for fish fossils in the pit just looked at the fossils after digging them out. They found that the fish fossil was very ordinary.

The staff didn't see the legs or the huge head. There was nothing special about the fish's body, it was just a normal fish.

If I have to say what is different, it would be that this fish is relatively large, about 1.5 meters long. In ancient times, there were more fish than 1.5 meters long.

After the fossils were moved back from the pit, they were transported directly back to the camp. What was dug out this time were fossil slabs. The uneven terrain on the barren mountain was not suitable for cleaning the soil on them.

After the fossils were transported to the camp, Wang Xiaoshan took the camera to show the audience the fish fossils.

There is some dirt on the fossil, but it does not affect the viewing. The audience is already anxious. If Wang Xiaoshan does not let them watch the live broadcast, the barrage will explode.

"Dear viewers, the fossils have been dug out. Let me show them to you first."

"Viewers who want to see the details will have to wait a little longer. The soil on the fossils will be cleaned for everyone to see the details."

[After waiting for so long, we can finally see the fossils. The digging is so slow. People who don’t know it might think they are catching fish. 】

[Isn’t Lao Wang just a very ordinary fish? It’s bigger and stronger, and looks a bit like a grouper. 】

[Does anyone see anything different about this fish? I looked at it for a long time but couldn’t find it. Is there anything wrong with the old king fish?]

[This fish is very well preserved, and even the scales can be seen. The difference that Lao Wang said is that this fish is well preserved, and the scales are all preserved. 】

[It is indeed not easy to preserve fish scales. Is this the reason for Lao Wang? Please tell us! 】

This time the audience was a little confused. There is no difference between normal fish.

Some people think that the fish should be well preserved. The scales, fins, tail, head, and other parts of the fish are all very well preserved.

Especially the scales on the fish are clearly visible, which makes people think that if you pour some water on it, the fish might survive.

After Wang Xiaoshan finished watching the scene for the audience, he took the camera to let the audience watch the staff cleaning some of the soil from the fossils.

When the audience saw that Wang Xiaoshan was not looking at the camera, they had to discuss it themselves. Now that the camera is facing the fossil, the audience can watch and discuss at the same time.

After the fossils were transported back, Li Miaomiao and Cao Bingbing both ran over. They had already written a lot of content just now.

Taking advantage of the fact that there were no onlookers around the fish fossil, the two of them hurried over to take a look first. After a while, when there were more people, they went back to write the manuscript.

When the fossil was transported back this time, some staff members wanted to follow them back to see the fish fossil, but Captain Shi did not let the staff come back.

The staff just came down to look at the fossils excavated by Wang Xiaoshan, which has been delayed a lot of time. The things in the pit have not been dug out, so it is impossible to just look at the fossils.

So Captain Shi didn't ask anyone to come back this time. He wanted to come back for a while before getting off work.

In the afternoon, Captain Shi contacted the vehicle transporting the fossils. The vehicle departed a bit late today, and it might take six or seven o'clock to arrive at the barren mountain.

The vehicle arrived late, and the staff at Barren Mountain had time to look at the fossils after get off work.

Cao Bingbing looked at the fossil and said to herself: "The fin of this fish is so thick."

Li Miaomiao: "What do you mean about shark fins being thick?"

Cao Bingbing nodded and said, "Yes, haven't you noticed? Its shark fins are thicker than those of ordinary fish."

Li Miaomiao: "The fish in this fossil was originally big and long. It is normal for the shark fin to be thick. The fish is so big, so of course the shark fin cannot be small."

Cao Bingbing thought so, but she still felt that the fins of this fish were a bit special.

She had seen a very large grouper in the aquarium. The grouper's fins were a bit big, but they didn't seem strong.

Cao Bingbing: "Oh."

Li Miaomiao: "The fish in ancient times were larger in all aspects. This is normal!"

The fossils were cleaned very quickly, and the fish fossils were cleaned up in a short time. After cleaning, the two reporters and Captain Shi squatted next to the fossils and observed them carefully.

The three people looked at the fish from the head to the tail, but did not see any difference in the fish. The three people looked at Wang Xiaoshan in confusion. They wanted to hear what Wang Xiaoshan had to say.

At this time, Wang Xiaoshan is holding the camera to let the audience see the details. What we just saw as a whole, now look at the details.

"This fish is called the coelacanth. It is a rare and ancient fish. This fish is a transitional species between fish and tetrapods."

[Transitional species between fish and tetrapods? What does this mean? Does this fish really have legs? It’s possible that it’s not reflected in the fossils. 】

[Does this fish no longer want to stay in the water and wants to come to land? After a few days, it will have enough time and then continue to return to the water?]

[This should be caused by the environment at that time. Otherwise, animals in the water would not go to land, and their respiratory systems would be different, and they would die on landing.]

[Rare fish? These have already become fossils. At best, they can only be regarded as relatively strange fish. No matter how rare they are, they will become extinct. 】

[I have heard the name of this fish. This fish does not seem to be extinct. There are such fish in the world now, but I don’t know if it is an ancient species.]

This is the first time the audience has heard the term transitional species in a live broadcast. Now everyone knows why Wang Xiaoshan said this fish is very special.

Fish are evolving into quadrupeds. If the evolution is successful, the fish Wang Xiaoshan showed the audience will grow four legs and its respiratory system will also change.

As soon as Wang Xiaoshan finished speaking, the two reporters on site and Captain Shi immediately went to look at the shark fins on the belly of this fossil fish. If the shark fins had longer legs, the fins would have changed.

It can be seen from the fossils that the evolution of this fish should not have been completed at the beginning, and the fish on the fossils did not have legs.

Some viewers are curious about whether this kind of fish still exists in real life, and if the fossils that exist have grown enough.

The audience is now very interested in the legs of this fish. The fish in the fossil did not grow, and they don't know whether this fish finally grew legs in the process of evolution.

"In fact, not all coelacanths have become extinct. If only one family of coelacanths is left, the family Pyrophoridae, which has not become extinct, they live in the deep sea."

"The coelacanth is the earliest aquatic creature and the first fish to move onto land. They have lived for hundreds of millions of years and are called living fossils of the dinosaur age."

"The coelacanth lives in seabed caves. It has a short head and limb-like fins. It can crawl on the seabed and feed on other fish. A single fish can reach one meter and eighty meters and weigh ninety kilograms."

[Having lived for hundreds of millions of years, my god, this fish is really going to become a spirit. It survived the death of dinosaurs and lived to this day. This is the ancestor of fish!]

[This kind of fish has not evolved real feet yet, but it can already walk in the water. This is the first time I have seen a fish that can walk.]

[I just checked that the modern coelacanth is not very different from the coelacanth in ancient times. The length and weight are almost the same. This kind of fish is really a living fossil. 】

[Other fish can only swim, but this fish can not only swim but also walk. When tired of swimming, take two steps. Cats have cat steps, and fish have fish steps.]

[Such a big fish actually likes to hide in caves on the bottom of the sea. Wouldn't it be nice to come out and kill everyone? It's so pointless to hide.】

The audience did not expect that this fish really lived for hundreds of millions of years, and there are only a handful of living fossils from the dinosaur era still alive in the world.

Being able to survive for more than 100 million years is enough to show that this fish is very powerful and has avoided disasters again and again.

Some viewers feel that a big fish of 1.8 meters does not need to hide in caves all the time. Small fish should hide here and there, and big fish should be more aggressive.

All the ferocious sea creatures in ancient times were extinct, and only those animals that were more stable and liked to hide survived.

"This fish also has a different feature from other fishes. The coelacanth can raise the front of its head at will, and its front and rear nostrils are open above the head."

"Let me tell you that the coelacanth is a typical night owl. They will hide in caves during the day and come out to hunt at night. They are mainly small fish and squid."

"The coelacanth lives in the deep sea at a depth of 150 meters to 700 meters. Although it is in a dark ocean, it can still see normally. Its strength is very good."

"It has good eyesight, but it only catches prey directly in front of its mouth and turns a blind eye to prey in other directions."

The audience paid attention to why this fish likes to hide in caves. Wang Xiaoshan told everyone about the living habits of this fish, so that the audience can learn more about this fish.

The coelacanth looks the same as other fish, but it has many differences from other fish. Maybe this is how they lived in ancient times.

[The coelacanth does not hide in caves. In fact, it goes to sleep in caves. Unexpectedly, this fish also likes to move at night. ]

[This fish is related to the owl, right? Isn’t it good to come out to hunt during the day? It has to come out at night, because it’s so dark that many fish have gone to sleep.]

[Are you eating like a Buddhist? You only eat what is in front of you. Fortunately, there is a lot of food in the water, otherwise this kind of fish would starve to death. 】

[This kind of fish that survived from ancient times is really different. It has good eyesight, but it is a night owl. Although it is huge, it only eats the food in front of it. 】

[I don’t know whether it is a Buddhist or not, but I know that this kind of fish must have a long lifespan and extremely strong survival and reproductive abilities, otherwise it would not be able to live for such a long time.]

The audience was amused by the living habits of this fish. This kind of fish is so interesting that it doesn't follow the usual path at all.

There are very few fish like coelacanth in real life, but it is difficult to see fish like coelacanth in the market, and they are not found in many aquariums.

It was the first time for many viewers to hear this name. Although it was their first time, the viewers had already deeply remembered this fish.

The audience was very interested in this fish. They asked Wang Xiaoshan a lot of questions. They wanted to know more about this magical ancient fish.

"The coelacanth grows very slowly, has low oxygen uptake capacity, slow metabolism and low reproductive capacity, which results in this fish being very long-lived."

"Coelacanths can live for a century."

Some viewers have already thought that this kind of fish should grow slowly, stay up and down at night every day, and eat so much that it would be difficult to grow faster.

When the audience heard that this fish can live for a century, they were once again shocked that such a large fish can live so long.

If you live for such a long time in an adapted environment, not to mention other things, this lifespan alone can kill many of your kind. As long as you hide well, you can live a long life.

[Mom, this fish shouldn’t be called a coelacanth, it should be called a longevity fish. In a century, it will become a fairy fish.]

[No wonder this kind of fish can live for so long. It hides in caves every day and doesn’t eat much every day. As long as it hides well, it can survive. 】

[There is only one secret to longevity, the metabolism must be slow, and the cat should try not to go out in one place, so that it can live a long time. 】

[It’s not a problem if you keep hiding. There will still be large fish that hunt at night. There was no shortage of ocean killers in ancient times.]
