CHIMAERA - Legends of the deep.
These living fossils aptly named Chimaeras for their strange looking bodies consisting of large catlike eyes, long whiplike tail, large wing-like fins and strange rabbit looking head.
Today they are visitors that come up from the deep in some fjords during those dark and cold Norwegian winters.
