RIO DE JANEIRO, Brazil - Brazilian scientists claimed
to have found a new fish species believed to have
lurked deep in the south Atlantic Ocean for over 150
million years. The fish, of the Chimaera genus, is
about 12-16 inches long and is found at depths of
1,300 to 2,000 feet, scientists said Thursday.
"This is a fantastic discovery, because before this we
believed there were no Chimaera off the Brazilian
coast," said ichthyologist Jules Soto, who discovered
the fish...
...The Chimaera can sense the presence of other
animals by scanning the electromagnetic field around
it, but it also has large eyes that can sense even the
smallest bit of light, Soto said.
So how does it taste?
