Deep Sea Fish With Venomous Spine, Tail Like A Whip, And Long Bizarre Snout Discovered In Canadian Arctic

An extremely weird looking fish was snagged recently in the frigid artic waters off northern Canada and after some confused speculation
about what it even is, researchers have identified it as the super rare long-nosed chimaera.

The spooky, deep sea fish has a long nose, menacing mouth, and a venomous spine atop its gelatinous grey body and was caught near
the northernmost province of Nunavut in Davis Straight.

Researchers, who at first believed the odd fish was the similarly freakish goblin shark, say the long-nosed chimaera likely makes its home
at depths not often visited by humans.

Like all chimaeras, the long-nosed species is a distant relative of sharks and rays.

The long-nosed chimaera has a whip-like tail and can grow to around three feet long.
