A Real ‘What Is It?’

image Stephen Wagner, over at About.com's Paranormal Phenomena Blog, reports that this picture of a very weird looking creature has been circulating via email. So is the creature real, or is it photoshopped? After some research, Stephen discovered that the creature is real. It's a deep-sea creature known as the Longnosed Chimera.

it's kind of cute! if it lives in the bottom of the sea, what's it doing on the tile of some guy's floor?

It is a given that there should be more unknown life forms deeper into the ocean.

Fascinating. You just know someone is going to seize on this to "prove" that there's a breeding population of dinosaurs in Scotland.

it's obviously a longnosed chimera. no wait! now I see: it's a cross between a pteranodon and a herring. (you have to look close, it's easy to confuse it with a longnosed chimera.)
