Mysterious Skeleton Fish Found On Beach!

Scientist say this Fish is over 375 years old! But this is not just any fish it is up to 9 feet long. It was named the Tiktaalik Roseae and it is nicknames Fishapod for its fishlike features. Scientists say that the Skeleton Fish has interacted with land creatures in shallow waters. A few have been found around 4 years ago. Which means these Skeleton Fish are very rarely found in time. Many scientists have little proof that this Skeleton Fish had a very flexible neck for example, to go in shallow waters you need a flexible neck for more movement in spots with very little space. It was also a very bony fish with lots and lots of bones! This fish is very rare and not many have found it. This fish still remains a mystery...
