TITLE
Learn with Curious George how all fish can breathe underwater. He shows you tiny fish to giant eels. All of them need oxygen to keep their bodies moving.
The first fish came to be about 530 million years ago. They did not look like the fish we see today. They grew and changed over a very long period of time. The first fish didn’t have any jaws. Jawed fish evolved 100 million years after the first fish. Fish are thought to be the first animals that had a backbone.
