Edaphodon!

Description

Edaphodon fue una quimera gigantesca que vivió durante el Cretácico, sobrevivió a los dinosaurios, y probablemente todavía rondaba los abismos cuando nuestros primeros ancestros homínidos comenzaron a deambular. Al menos una especie alcanzaba un tamaño comparable al del actual gran tiburón blanco. ¡Sin duda un monstruo marino de los más extraños! :D 

Edaphodon was a giant chimera (also known variously as ratfish, spookfish or rabbitfish among others), which lived during the Cretaceous, outlived the dinosaurs, and was probably still roaming the abyss when our hominin ancestors were starting out. At least one species reached a size comparable to today's great white shark. One of the strangest looking sea monsters, no doubt! :D 

Thanks to :iconpristichampsus: for letting me know about this awesome fish!
