Viral Video Of Rare Oarfish In Mexico Triggers Myths About Natural Disasters
A rare sighting of two oarfish, popularly known as “doomsday fish,” on a beach in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, has captured widespread attention after a video of the unusual moment went viral online. The rare deep-sea creatures were seen struggling in shallow water, surprising beachgoers and triggering intense discussions across social media platforms.
The incident reportedly occurred when two sisters noticed something unusual flashing in the distance while at the beach. Curious about the strange sight, they approached the area and discovered the ribbon-like fish in shallow waters. Oarfish are rarely seen near the surface, making the encounter especially remarkable.
One of the sisters, Monica Pittenger, later shared footage of the moment on Instagram in collaboration with the account “We Love Animals.” In the video, the fish appear to be moving weakly near the shore as people gather around to watch the unusual scene unfold. NDTV noted that it could not independently verify the viral clip.
