Rare live oarfish washed up on the shores of Playa Quemada.
Recently, a rare live oarfish washed up on the shore of Playa Quemada, in the Canary Islands, Spain, attracting great attention from the public. The video recording this moment quickly went viral online, making many people curious about this mysterious creature.
The oarfish, Regalecus glesne, is the longest bony fish in the world, reaching lengths of up to 17m and weighing up to 270kg. It is also one of the oldest known bony fish. It usually lives at depths of about 1,000m below sea level, but is sometimes pushed closer to shore by strong currents or natural disasters.
The appearance of oarfish near shore is often associated with many spiritual beliefs.
However, the appearance of this fish is often associated with many legends and folk beliefs. This fish is also known as "sea dragon", "king belt" fish or even "doomsday" fish because people have long believed that their appearance is a sign of disaster.
According to Japanese folklore, if an oarfish carcass washes up on shore, it could be a sign of an impending earthquake. This belief stems from the legend that oarfish carry messages from the palace of the sea god.
Some scientists also believe that these fish are more sensitive to geological movements because they live in deep water, but no research has proven that they can actually predict earthquakes.
Currently, experts are still monitoring and analyzing the cause of this oarfish drifting ashore, in order to learn more about the habits and habitat of this mysterious fish species.
