The Mysterious Ghost Shark

[@Hartfilmsandstuff]

I think the reason they are called Chimera is most likely due to the lateral lines in their bodies looking like stiches which could add to the idea of different animal parts.

If it's referring to a chimeric organism, then yes it is :) hard K. (There's a type of film equip. that's pronounced differently). But, I'm not sure if this account is from the U.K.? So, maybe pronounced differently in U.K.? :)
