A second 'doomsday fish' washed ashore in Calif. Experts don't know why.
Briefly

"The rare, slender oarfish has often been called a 'doomsday fish' in popular culture, particularly in Japan where historically it has been viewed as a deep sea messenger of disaster or doom."
"Oarfish are encountered all over the world, yet we know relatively little about their life and biology."
"What killed these two specific California sea serpents remains a mystery... there isn't a clear explanation as to why such rare occurrences are happening now."
