Artist's Comments
The first living coelacanth (seel-a-canth) was discovered in 1938 and bears the scientific name Latimeria Chalumnae. The species was described by Professor J.L.B. Smith in 1939 and was named after its discoverer, Miss Marjorie Courtenay-Latimer. Until recent years, living coelacanths were known only from the western Indian Ocean, primarily from the Comoros Islands, but in September 1997 and again in July 1998, coelacanths were captured in northern Sulawesi, Indonesia, nearly 6,000 miles to the east of the Comoros.
Prior to 1938 coelacanths were known only from fossils and were thought to have gone extinct approximately 65 million years ago, during the great extinction in which the dinosaurs disappeared.
Until last evening, when I run into this specimen on Haifa beach, the species was unknown to habituate in the Mediterranean Sea. This is a preview for you, guys, before alerting the National Geographics.
