Fish protopter able to walk and jump

African fish protopter has four pairs of flagella-thin fins, through which walks briskly along the bottom, bouncing gracefully to accelerate. And it only goes back to the "legs" and to jump pushed all four. Despite the fact that this fish belongs to the lungfish, protopter not walk on th * th earth, as the fins are too thin to hold the weight.





After studying walks protopter, scientists have suggested that perhaps the most ancient creatures learned to walk before being left out of the ocean, and that walking fish shows an example of "the birth of gait" millions of years ago.
