Nothing else looks or behaves like it, as it combines characteristics of fish, eels, and snakes. The Rope Fish is one of only a few fish species that have lungs in addition to gills, allowing it to live both in and out of water.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"\u003eThe African Rope Fish is native to the inner curve of western Africa, from Benin to the Republic of the Congo, and is often found in the warm, sluggish waters of rivers such as the Ogun and the Chiloango. These waters typically have low oxygen levels and are home to only the toughest organisms.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"\u003eThe capacity to survive in both water and on land provides the Rope Fish with a large territory in which to live and hunt. Despite being classified as a freshwater species, the Rope Fish has been discovered in brackish water, demonstrating the adaptability of this extraordinary fish.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"\u003eThe Rope Fish will not surface to breathe in most tanks because the water has enough oxygen.
