This is the final part of a five-part series on the specimen collections at the California Academy of Sciences, and I feel like it’s only appropriate for us to return to our roots with it. So in the gallery above you’ll find the most remarkable fish that senior collections manager David Catania could muster (from the 220,000 or so jars in the museum's stacks), from shark eggs that look like spiral grenades to the ancient and mysterious coelacanth. They may not look much like us, but we owe their kind a debt of gratitude for us, like, existing.
