Australian researchers published their findings in a recent issue of the scientific magazine “Nature”. The main author of the article about the sex life of an extinct species of fish is prof. John Long of Flinders University in Australia. The primitive bony fish 8cm lived about 385 million years ago in the lakes, which now are in the territory of Scotland. Species of these extinct armored fish thousands of years ago. But until now, scientists have discovered that the fish could be the first living organism that could indulge in sexual close-up shots. The discovery of the box Long made the discovery while browsing boxes with fossils of ancient fish.

In females of the species Microbrachius Dicki researchers saw a small bony structure at the rear of the trunk, which was the female sexual organ. The location of these bodies were indicate that the fish adhere to one side. -This Is a big step in science – said prof. Long. – We have identified a very important moment in the evolution, where he first began breeding of all animals – he said. What was Microbrachius Dicki? The researchers also showed an animation that shows how she could look copulation Microbrachius Dicki.
