African Lungfish survive drought condition underground

The African Lungfish survive in drought condition underground.

The African Lungfish/catfish survive in drought condition underground for couple of years by creating a dry clay cocoon to hibernate, until waters fill rivers/land again. In the state of hibernation, it somehow slows down their biological system in a kind of coma/sleep without food, just enough energy to stay alive. The fish have appendages/limb like to be able to crawl in and out of water when needed. It’s one of the beauty of Allah’s creation…Amazing! Don’t forget about the People of the Cave who slept for 309 years.
