EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: "Chimaera Arctica: The Mythical Deep-Sea Chimera". This engraving showcases the elusive and enigmatic Chimaera Arctica, also known as the Arctic Chimera. This fascinating deep-sea creature, depicted in exquisite detail, is a member of the Chimera or Chimeraformes order, within the class Eumetazoa and phylum Chordata. The Chimaera Arctica, with its quizzical expression and ghostly appearance, has long intrigued scientists and artists alike. Its elongated, eel-like body is adorned with a dorsal fin, while its most distinctive feature is the prominent, upward-pointing rostrum, or elongated snout, which houses two large, glowing eyes and a pair of fang-like teeth. This engraving is based on a drawing by F. Padrón, providing an accurate representation of the Chimaera Arctica's unique features. The Chimaera Arctica is found in the deep, cold waters of the North Atlantic and Arctic Oceans, where it preys on various invertebrates and small fish. The scientific community has long been fascinated by the Chimaera Arctica due to its unusual anatomy and evolutionary significance. Its elongated snout, for example, is thought to be an adaptation for capturing its prey in the dark depths of the ocean. This engraving serves as a testament to the beauty and mystery of the natural world, highlighting the importance of scientific exploration and discovery. The Chimaera Arctica, with its mythical appearance, continues to captivate the imagination and inspire awe in those who study and appreciate the wonders of the deep sea.
