CHIMAERA

Chimaera is a genus of cartilaginous fishes. Almost the only known species is the Chimaera monstrosa, which inhabits the northern seas, and is sometimes called King of the herrings, and, from its two pairs of large teeth, rabbit-fish. There is but one gill-opening, and the tail terminates in a point, the fish having on the whole a singular appearance. It seldom exceeds one metre in length.
