Roman recently posted a picture of an almost translucent catch with sweeping fins, a long thresher-like tail, and a ghostly-looking eye. The deep-sea fish had strange markings that made it look as if it had been sewn together. While many netizens said that it looked like a cartoon, others identified it as a ghost chimaera.

Some said,”Looks like a Pokemon. Another called it a cartoon exclaiming, ” “Wow looks like a Cartoon Fish.” “I have been looking for this little guy for a few years in this waters, you are very lucky, it’s magnificent.”

Another netizen stunned called it a “Hey! A Ghost Chimera! Also known as ghost sharks, rat fish, spookfish, and rabbit fish! I don’t see pics of them too often.” “A ghost shark, or chimaera! a favorite of mine.  The lines on its body are sensory receptors to help it get food and move around.” “I love seeing these wonderful creatures!”
