Lungfish (also known as salamanderfish) are freshwater fish belonging to the subclass Dipnoi. Lungfish are best known for retaining characteristics primitive within the Osteichthyes, including the ability to breathe air, and structures primitive within Sarcopterygii, including the presence of lobed fins with a well-developed internal skeleton.
Today, lungfish live only in Africa, South America and Australia. While vicariance would suggest this represents an ancient distribution limited to the Mesozoic supercontinent Gondwana, the fossil record suggests advanced lungfish had a widespread freshwater distribution and the current distribution of modern lungfish species reflects extinction of many lineages following the breakup of Pangaea, Gondwana and Laurasia.
All lungfish demonstrate an uninterrupted cartilaginous notochord and an extensively developed palatal dentition. Lungfish are omnivorous, feeding on fish, insects, crustaceans, worms, molluscs, amphibians and plant matter. They have a spiral valve rather than a true stomach. Basal lungfish groups may retain marginal teeth and an ossified braincase, but derived lungfish groups, including all modern species, show a significant reduction in the marginal bones and a cartilaginous braincase. The bones of the skull roof in primitive lungfish are covered in a mineralized tissue called cosmine, but in post-Devonian lungfishes, the skull roof lies beneath the skin and the cosmine covering is lost. All modern lungfish show significant reductions and fusions of the bones of the skull roof, and the specific bones of the skull roof show no homology to the skull roof bones of ray-finned fishes or tetrapods. During the breeding season, the South American lungfish develops a pair of feathery appendages that are actually highly modified pelvic fins. These fins are thought to improve gas exchange around the fish's eggs in its nest.

nothing is easy
I know that I can't catch it
nothing is easy
I know the weight is too great
nothing is easy
I know that I can't hold it
nothing is easy
My fool heart
I took a trip to the planetarium
nothing is easy anyhow
Looked at the ceiling saw the stars and the sun
nothing is easy anyhow
All inertia circles in decay
nothing is easy down the tree
Put our heads together
stick our heads together
Put my hand in yours
nothing is easy
My fool heart
Sky is falling down I see
nothing is easy
I know that I can't hold it
ain't nothing easy
You said nothing is forever
I bought it
yeah nothing is easy
My fool heart
I went inside the conservatory
no one said it's easy
The air was sweet and it passed right through me
nothing is easy
I ain't no evergreen
nothing is easy down the tree
Hold my limb left hold my limb right
