Giant rare 'pinocchio' fish monster caught for second time ever in arctic waters

A fishing crew got a shock when they pulled out this terrifying long-nosed fish - and it's only the second time one has been caught in the area.
After much speculation, experts have identified the toothy swimmer as the extremely rare long-nosed chimaera.
It was caught in the freezing arctic waters of Davis Strait in Northern Canada by the Nunavut fishing boat.
With a nose to rival Pinocchio's, a monstrous mouth and a venomous spine atop its gelatinous grey body, it looks quite the freak.
Researchers first believed the weird fish was the similarly freakish goblin shark - and looking at its mouth there are similarities.
But they say the long-nosed chimaera is rarely caught because it is likely to make its home at abysmal depths not often visited by humans.
University of Windsor researcher Nigel Hussey told the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation: "Potentially, if we fish deeper, maybe between 1,000 and 2,000 metres, we could find that's there's actually quite a lot of them there

 I am starting a series, and this series is me interviewing some people doing great in key areas, I decided to kick start the episode with someone I share a history with because I saw firsthand how she excelled while we were in secondary school, the reason why I am doing this is simple, to help people trace certain things backward and to help them see how some things are predictive. Wunmi and I went to the same secondary school and I can tell you without a doubt, she was very studious, she was a bookworm,, but II also know many bookworms that were not geniuses, so I decided to ask her how she did it. some people say, Hard work ,  Luck, Heredity , and Prayers, I say, let's hear from the horse's mouth. She was the best-graduating Chemical Engineering student in the year 2008/2009 from Obafemi Awolowo University with a CGPA of 4.88 Check out our Conversation Below   Me; Hi Olawunmi, long time, how have you been?
