A second giant rare serpentine oarfish has washed up on a Southern California beach just days after the first creature surfaced from the depths.

The silvery deep-sea monster washed ashore along the coast of Oceanside on Friday afternoon measuring 13 and-a-half feet long.
The discovery came just days after an 18-foot dead oarfish was found in the waters off Catalina Island.

‘It’s not the typical fish you see on shore,’ said Oceanside Police Officer Mark Bussey, adding the oarfish weighed over 200 pounds.

Suzanne Kohin of NOAA Fisheries Serivice came and measured the fish before she took possession of it for research.

Last week, on October 13, a science instructor was snorkeling when she discovered the body of the creature on a seabed.
The fish was far too big for Santana to carry alone; it took 15 people to bring the beast to shore.
