Oscar Lυndahl nearly jumped out of his fishing boat when he first saw the strange bug-eyed species.

The Latin name for the ratfish is Chimaeras Monstrosa Linnaeus. He started from the Greek mythological creature with the tail of a dragon and the head of a lion. Strange creatures are rarely caught as they live in deep water. They may have developed large eyes to help them see in such deep, dark places.
Oscar, a 19-year-old Nordic Sea Αngliпg fishing guide, accidentally caught the species off the coast of northern Norway. He claimed they had been chasing a rare type of blue halibut three miles offshore. Near the end of his line, which contained four hooks, he discovered a huge object.
He picked it up after spending almost 30 minutes at a depth of 800 meters. He was pleased to see that there were two halibυts on each of the hooks, but then he noticed an unexpected development. I had never seen anything like it before and it was great. Simply put, it looked strange, almost like a dinosaur. His coworker knew what it was, but he had no idea.
