washington: An extremely rare oarfish has been found on the beach in California, USA. According to the Scripps Institution of Oceanography, the oarfish, commonly known as the Doomsday Fish, was discovered last week on the coast of Southern California. There is a belief among many people about this fish that it appears before a major natural disaster and signals destruction. This fish was seen just before the devastating earthquake in Japan in 2011. According to the Jerusalem Post report, many superstitions are associated with aquatic creatures around the world. This is probably due to their different and strange appearance. The oarfish is a large fish, its eyes are exceptionally large and it has a red bone on its head. It has happened many times that this fish was seen just before major earthquakes and a few days later the world witnessed massive destruction. 13 years ago, just before the 2011 earthquake in Japan, 20 oarfish were found on the beach.
Does destruction come after seeing a fish or is it just superstition?
There have been many questions about the connection between oarfish and earthquakes. Oarfish have a mythical reputation as predictors of natural disasters and earthquakes, but experts dismiss this as folklore. A 2019 study found no link between oarfish sightings and earthquakes in Japan.
The oarfish is about 12 feet long and can grow up to 30 feet. It is very rare to see them. Since 1901, only 20 fish have been seen in California. This species of fish lives in the deep sea and one fish discovered last week has died. These fish come to the surface only when they get lost or are sick. In such a situation, their death after coming to the shore is not unexpected.
