A marine science instructor snorkelling off the Southern California coast spotted something out of a fantasy novel which happens to be the silvery carcass of 5m long serpent-like oarfish. Ms Jasmine Santana of the Catalina Island Marine Institute needed beyond 15 helpers to drag the giant sea creature to shore on Sunday. Staffers at the institute are calling it the discovery of a lifetime.

Furthermore, it was expressed by Mr Mark Waddington who's a senior captain of the Tole Mour, CIMI's sail training ship that they have never seen a fish of that gigantic size. The last oarfish hey  saw was three feet long.

18 foot-long Sea Creature Carcass discovered

As explained by CIMI, due to the fact that the oarfish dive beyond 914m deep, instance of seeing of the creatures are exceptional and they are largely unstudied. The unnoticeable fish readily seen to have died of natural causes. In fact, tissue samples and video footage were sent to be studied by biologists at the University of California at Santa Barbara.
