Last weekend, a group of kayakers and snorkelers off the coast of Southern California made a startling discovery when they encountered a rare deep-sea creature known as the “doomsday fish.” The fish, scientifically known as an oarfish, is often linked to myths and legends, with some cultures viewing it as a harbinger of impending disasters. According to the Ocean Conservancy, this sighting is extremely rare, as oarfish typically reside in deep ocean waters and are seldom seen near the surface. This extraordinary encounter has intrigued both the scientific community and the public, highlighting the mysterious and often unexplored nature of marine life.
