A Russian hunter found a strange animal, which left people in a state of confusion about its type, with some considering it to be similar to the “son of the dragon”.
Roman Fedortsov, 39, shared a picture of a mysterious animal on his account with the “Instagram” application, which includes a group of pictures of terrifying animals found in the ocean.
Fedortsov was on a fishing mission in the Norwegian Sea when he found the mysterious animal, according to Yahoo News.
And many tried to guess the truth of this strange-shaped animal.
Some said the animal was a “mythical” or “little dragon”, relying on its huge eyes, wing-like fins, and an unusually long tail for marine animals.
One commentator stated that the animal was a newly born baby dragon, while another seemed to be afraid, to the point of saying that it did not need to swim in the ocean again.
As for a professor at the University of Queensland’s School of Biological Sciences, Ian Tibbets, he said that this animal is the chimera, which is a relative of the shark and rays.
He added that this type of animal swims using its large pectoral fins, and generally lives in the deep sea (at a depth of more than 200 meters).
Perhaps this explains the surprise of many of the animal, as it is rare, unlike the rest of the fish.
