  2. Lobe-finned fishes • Have fleshy ventral fins reinforced with external skeleton

  3. Lungfishes • Have gills and one or two small modified outpouchings of the gut wall. • These sacs help in taking in O2 and to remove CO2. • Probably share the common ancestor with four-legged walkers-tetrapods.
