Apparently, this one is just a baby, then, if they grow up to 1.6 meters long.

I think they'd lose some of their cuteness factor at that size.

I think it lost it's cuteness factor at hatching.

Why is it on a cutting board?

Apparently, someone is hungrier than I am ever going to get.

Good question, I'm guessing that's where they examine all the specimens. Some get more thorough examinations than others, which explains the cut marks in the board.;)

Well if they are cutting it up to eat it, all I have to say is "Save a nostril for me." (kidding by the way, I wouldn't touch that with a ten foot fork).

Chimera in science
 

Chimera is used in science for more than just fish. Mice cells can be combined with human cells to make chimeric cells. Part of one protein can be made with part of a second protein to produce a chimeric protein with properties similar to both of the original proteins.

Greek (and latin ) used to be quite common in science, but since no one learns them in school anymore the trend of naming things in a "common" language is dying out. Unless you consider English to be the next common language.

Scientists and deep sea dredgers are finding some weird and wonderful slippery & slimy little ocean critters in the depths between New Zealand and Australia never ever before seen. National Geographic did a story not so long ago about some of the finds, Interesting. Just goes to show that there's more out their then meets the eye.:eek:

More reasons for me to stay out of the damn ocean.:worried:
Welcome to the Celler Electro. Sounds like you could be a great sourse of the straight dope. Thanks.:)

Thats one of the cutest things ever!! how could you say that beautiful thing is ugly?? look at its gorgeous little innocent eye gazing out into the camera. thats one amazing, incredible creature. I hope those bastard scientists have fun killing them for scientific experiments.

You think that's cute? Hey, maybe you could be my next ex.:)

that depends.. would you be willing to undergo scientific experiments too? :D

Oh goodie, kinky too.;)

So thats a yes?

:p

They tell me abuse is better than nothing.:blush:
