Definition
A family of freshwater fish commonly known as bowfins, characterized by an elongated body and primitive fish features.
Etymology
From the genus Amia (from Greek, possibly meaning 'spotted' or related to bream fish) + -idae (Latin suffix for biological family classification). Scientific naming developed by Carl Linnaeus in the 1700s.
Kelly Says
Bowfins are living fossils—their family structure hasn't changed much in 150 million years—and they're actually more closely related to ancient fish than to most modern fish, making them biological time capsules from the age of dinosaurs.
