What are amphibian fishes? | Lungfishes are called amphibian fishes as they can live both in water and on soil

LungfishesWhere do fishes live? Do not think that this is a silly question.  Fishes live in water as everybody is aware.  But most people do not know one thing that a fish lives on soil also.

It may sound unbelievable but it is true.  These fishes are called lungfish and can be seen in Africa.  Generally these live in water only.  But when the oceans and rivers overflow, these come out along with water.  But water does not stay like that for a long time.  These fishes do not die when the water evaporates.  They get into the soil and live there for months together.  They go into the soil for some meters.  These are one of the ancient fishes which has bones.
