Multiple giant 'doomsday fish' wash ashore on Mexican beach

The mysterious "doomsday fish," an elusive deep-sea dweller, has sparked excitement and speculation after not one but two were spotted struggling in the surf on a popular beach in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico.

According to Surfer, the creatures were oarfish — long, ribbon-like beings that typically live about 1,000 meters below the surface, far from human view.



According to a video by We Love Animals, people walking along the beach noticed something "flashing in the distance." They approached and realized the animals were writhing on the sand. One of a pair of sisters rushed in to help and, with assistance from other beachgoers, gently guided the fish back into the water.

But the moment quickly became even more surreal.

... are usually really DEEP water creatures. To see two of them on a beach is not only bizarre, but statistically almost impossible, a one-in-a-million chance. Those folks witnessed something that probably won't be seen again for a thousand years, if ever.
