Lungfish can survive out of water - are you sure they're in the air and not on the ground?

If you mean "in the air" as outside the water then its not a bug.

The ones for me are literally flying.

If you could upload a screenshot or something along those lines, TheNextCrusade, that might be useful - I have lungfish on my map and they're not flying.

Literally flying, as in, like two Z-levels above the ground. I don't have a save there at the moment but I saw it on multiple sites.

This is from 0.34.01, but I don't believe anything has changed.

I've reproduced this as well. Not all the lungfish on the map were flying, but there were quite a few hovering above the river. The map had a large waterfall, but the flying lungfish were 5-7 z-levels above the highest water/land on the map.

Unfortunately don't have the save.

I can confirm this being in 34.01 was wondering of it was just me seeing it. :D

I still have the would (along with the 150+ giant mosquito's) if anyone wants it.

here is a picture with the fish 4 z's above a river.

(I have not played .02 or .03 yet dwarf mode so not sure if it is still around)

This happened to me once on my laptop(which I don't have, currently), when I kept finding randomized lungfish remains out of water. One of the cats that my fort had was randomly chasing off after them, which may be why.
When I built a refuse pile, all the dwarves decided to go get rid of the lungfish remains instead of being productive.
I don't have the save, nor the laptop..

0.34.10, flying lungfish make another appearance. They are actively flying up and down as if they were birds.

5 flying lungfish far away from the river, +3 z-levels:

There are another 2 at level +2, and 1 at +1.

In the new DF 0.40.03 lungfish usually likes to "swim" inside tree canopies... Climbing behavior is weird... I think, some critters should never climb/jump, especially not the fish...
