Thursday’s Quiz -What incredible survival strategy allows African lungfish to endure extreme droughts?
Answer: A) They burrow into the mud and secrete a mucus cocoon, surviving without water for years.
The African lungfish can survive extreme droughts by burrowing into dried riverbeds and encasing itself in a mucus cocoon. In this state, it enters a hibernation-like torpor and can remain buried for up to 5 years, only emerging when water returns!
