"To give you an idea of how rare this encounter is, only 20 oarfish have washed up in California since 1901!"
"Oarfish, known scientifically as Regalecus glesne, are strikingly long and have a 'ribbon-shaped body,' which allows them to swim vertically in the deep sea."
"It is unusual for humans to encounter oarfish because they primarily reside within the deep sea, and those seen close to the surface tend to be sick or disoriented."
