Ratfish are a type of chimaera, a cartilaginous fish. Unlike other cartilaginous fish, like sharks, ratfish's teeth are permanent and plate-shaped to grind down prey. They also have a venomous spine on their back!
Not my best pic, but still a cool species!

but it survived and has a new home in the tree in my yard :D
