Baby australian lungfish are the cutest things I've seen in awhile.

look at their little faces, they almost look happy. one question I have though is, how are they even born? do lungfish give birth or lay eggs?

Here is a quote from the following link, "The female African lungfish lays its eggs in a nest in a weedy area of its habitat. Once the eggs hatch, the males guard the young for up to two months. The larvae have external gills that are reabsorbed during their metamorphosis into fully developed lungfish. As the African lungfish develops from juvenile to adult, its teeth fuse together to form tooth plates, which are used to chew its food."

One would be led to believe that it would not be unreasonable to assume that other lungfish lay eggs as well.
