Did you just feel a chill down your spine?

It may be from this ghost shark, also known as a chimera, swimming in the depths of the Gulf of Mexico. While related to sharks, these deep sea cartilaginous fish species genetically diverged from their shark relatives nearly 400 million years ago! (Photo: Hariotta Raleighana/NOAA.
