Freaky Fish #10: Elephant-Fish Chimaera

BY: Emily Fisher

Elephant-fish chimaera (Callorhinchus milii)With rabbit-like teeth and an elephant’s trunk, today’s freaky fish is closely related to sharks, but is clearly in its own category of weirdness, having been named after the monstrous hybrid of Greek mythology, the Chimaera.To see the rest of the fish and vote for your favorite for a chance to win IMAX tickets, go to http://oceana.org/freaky-fish-contest.
