The carcass of a bizarre-looking creature that once spawned tales of sea monsters has been found by a snorkeler in a bay at Santa Catalina Island off Southern California.
The 18-foot-long oarfish was discovered Sunday afternoon by Jasmine Santana, a marine science instructor at the Catalina Island Marine Institute. The oarfish was dead but its slender, snake-like body was intact.
The find was described by CIMI as a “discovery of a lifetime.”
ABC 7 stated Monday on its Facebook page that the carcass required 15 people to carry it up the beach.
