All clown fish are born as males. When they reach maturity they can change their gender to female to propagate and make sure their species lives on. This gender change is not unique in the animal kingdom. Wrasses, Copperhead snakes, Sea bass, Moray eels and Humphead wrasse can also make the change as needed. |

The fascinatingly unique wobbegong shark got its start in the Upper Jurassic period, around 145 million years ago. This means that they, along with many other aquatic forms of life, survived the mass extinction event that wiped out the dinosaurs 65 million years ago. The elusive nature of the wobbegong, and its expertly utilized camouflage, has helped it thrive well into the present without any threat of endangerment. |

These tiny reptilians, today found only in New Zealand, may look like shrunken down dinosaurs. And they essentially are! Tuataras are the last surviving members of the family of reptiles that first appeared in the Triassic period around 250 million years ago. It's likely only due to their small size that tuataras survived the mass extinction event 65 million years ago that wiped out their dinosaur cousins. |

Sturgeon are another incomprehensibly ancient species of fish that have managed to stick around for more than 100 million years. Sturgeon, although far smaller in numbers now than they were in the Cretaceous period, can still be found in the Great Lakes of North America, and can grow up to 12 feet (3.5 meters) in length. |
