WHAT DOES CHIMAERA MEAN IN ENGLISH?

chimaera

Chimaera

Chimaeras are cartilaginous fishes in the order Chimaeriformes, known informally as ghost sharks, ratfish, spookfish, or rabbitfishes. They may be the "oldest and most enigmatic groups of fishes alive today". At one time, a "diverse and abundant" group, their closest living relatives are sharks, though in evolutionary terms, they branched off from sharks nearly 400 million years ago and have remained isolated ever since. Today, they are largely confined to deep water.
