The Ghost Shark boldly displays the wonderful variety of our deep sea oceans.
The thick layered paint depicts the playful appearance with ‘smiles’ of the electroreceptor cells. Chimeras are a diverse group of fish with so many distinctive features and colours. Due to scientific endeavours we can view footage to get a sense of life in the deeps.
The sweeping ray like movement of its fins is caught in the flashlight out of the darkest blue. Once the light has revealed its peculiarities, it’ll return to the dark again.
