Multiple giant 'doomsday fish' wash ashore on Mexican beach [View all]

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.
