A chimaera is a deep sea cartilaginous fish related to sharks.
In mythology, the chimera is an offspring of a wood nymph-black snake named Echidna and the fire breathing titan Typhon. It had the head of a lion and goat and the tail of the creature was a snake with a head. It breathed fire. Bellephoron rode the flying horse Pegasus and killed the Chimera by putting lead on a stick down it's throat(s) and it melted into it's stomach and it died.
20 years
yes. the whales eat the cimamaeras and sword fishes
I imagine they're too rare and deep-sea to be endangered by humans, but if by "endangered" you mean "not many are likely to exist" then yeah, probably.
The lion with a serpent as a tail in Greek mythology is called the Chimera. It is a monstrous creature with the body of a lion, the head of a goat emerging from its back, and a tail that ends with a snake's head. It was eventually defeated by the hero Bellerophon.
The concept of the chimera originates from Greek mythology, where it is described as a creature with the body and head of a lion, a goat's head rising from its back, and a serpent for a tail. It is said to have been a monstrous offspring of Typhon and Echidna. The term is now used more broadly to refer to any fictional creature combining different animal parts.
