20,000 leagues did not seem so far to some surprised
wanderers, after an 18 foot long Oarfish was found washed up on the beach of Southern California
The behemoth is rarely sighted, choosing to dwell at
the eye-watering depth of around 3000 feet. This particular monster, which took
15 adults to carry, was spotted by marine biologist Jasmine Santana as she
snorkelled - striking a terrifying sight but providing a fascinating discovery.
The scientist managed to drag the gargantuan creature for around 75 feet before
curious by-standers helped bring the find to shore.
