A
reader has sent this photo with no explanation other than it was forwarded to
him. Is it real or a clever photo hoax? If it's a real creature, can anyone out
there identify it? I've never seen anything like it. If it is a hoax, which is
quite possible, it's a very good one.

Amazingly, this is a real creature. Reader Russell Bynum has directed us to a website with photographs of several very strange deep-sea creatures, including this one – a Longnosed Chimera, "the bald molerat of the piscine world."

Looks like a small version of the locness monster. I saw a video of it jumping out of the water the other day
