Evolutionary Monsters: Chimaeras and Lampreys
Update: 2025-11-15
Description
Describes two unusual aquatic species: the Chimaera (Ghost Shark), a deep-sea cartilaginous fish with a single gill opening, venomous dorsal spine, and three families (plough-nosed, short-nosed, and long-nosed), and the Atlantic sea lamprey, a parasitic, blood-feeding species that invaded the North American Great Lakes. It explains the lamprey’s feeding mechanism using anticoagulants, the ecological damage they caused, and control efforts, while noting that larval lampreys are harmless and not all lamprey species are parasitic.
