There’s been a rare occurrence in Southern California: three oarfish have washed ashore in quick succession, potentially signaling disasters ahead, in folklore and nature.
One oarfish landing on a beach is often considered a bad omen; to see three within a few months raises concerns among scientists and locals alike.
Oarfish, with their mirror-like skin and mythical appearance, have sparked imagination for centuries, leading sailors to map areas believed to be inhabited by them.
Last seen in recent succession in California during 2013-2014, the arrival of oarfish is noteworthy for both the public and scientists due to its rarity.
