African Lungfish

The African Lungfish is a primitive, air-breathing fish known for its eel-like body and ability to survive in low-oxygen environments by gulping air. It has poor eyesight but a strong sense of smell, often resting motionless before lunging at food, and it can become very large and powerful over time.
