Wow this is pretty recent. Like yesterday recent - were they only known through dead specimens before this?

Animal Crossing told me they were still around

Edit: they around

Well-represented in both freshwater and marine fossils since the Devonian, they are now represented by only two extant marine species in the genus Latimeria: the West Indian Ocean coelacanth (Latimeria chalumnae), primarily found near the Comoro Islands off the east coast of Africa, and the Indonesian coelacanth (Latimeria menadoensis).[4] The name coelacanth originates from the Permian genus Coelacanthus, which was the first scientifically named coelacanth.[5]
