6/30/2004: Ugly new fish



Nothing new under the sun - but Brazilian scientists found this new and not-very-good-looking thing under the sea.

The fish, which is a kind of chimaera, or ratfish, is about 12 inches to 16 inches (30cm to 40cm) long, has large, wing-like fins, a whip-like tail and exposed nerves along its body that help it navigate in the deep, dark waters where it lives.
