The Ceratodus (Neoceratodus forsteri), also known as the Queensland lungfish,has been sculpted from recycled metal and is approx twice the size of one found in the wild.
The Australian lungfish is native only to the Mary and Burnett River systems in south-eastern Queensland and lives in slow-flowing rivers and still water (including reservoirs),it is incapable of surviving complete desiccation of its habitat, although it can live out of water for several days if the surface of its skin is constantly moist.
Australian lungfish are olive-green to dull brown on the back, sides, tail, and fins, and pale yellow to orange on the underside
