On May 30, a Japanese research team videotaped a one-meter long coelacanth in its natural habitat in the waters off the coast of Indonesia’s Sulawesi island. According to the announcement by Aquamarine Fukushima — a marine science museum located in Fukushima prefecture — this is the first video of a coelacanth in its Indonesian habitat since a German team videotaped one in 1999.
