Recently in Japan, those oar fish have been found dead at the shore around Ishikawa and Toyama prefectures...The tradition says that a huge earthquake would occur when this happened..
I'd like to see an aquarium big enough to hold an oarfish. They get 30 feet long! And if it's on the surface then it's going to die no matter what they do. Oarfish only come to the surface of the water to die.
I both love and hate seeing video of oarfish. I love it because they're beautiful creatures and are rare, but I hate it because when they come to the surface it means that they're dieing. It saddens me to see such a beautiful animal dieing. I would love to one day encounter one of these myself.
Way 2 go. I love animals to, especially fish. Oarfish do, however, rise to feed high in the water column of nutritious Plankton at night, which is responsible for Sea Serpent sightings.
True but we don't generally encounter them at night since we're usually not out then :P 90% of the time it's daytime and the ones we see are sick and dying (I hope I spelled dying right this time lol). I believe it's these ones responsible for sea serpent sightings, seeing as sailors hundreds of years back wouldn't have very strong artificial lights with witch to pierce the darkness, and if they're well oarfish are near the surface but below it at night, so it's tough to see them at night.
A few years ago, two parents went out for dinner. A few hours later, the babysitter was calling to ask if she could cover up the clown statue in the kids' room, the father said,"Take the kids and get out of the house. We'll call the police, we don't have a clown statue." The "clown statue" is really a killer that escaped from jail. If you don't post this letter on to 10 videos tonight, the clown will be in your bed at 3:00 am with a chainsaw in his hand
that one is cute .. seen pics and vids of other ones, not so cute .. but i'm sure that's only because the ones I saw were already dead .. saw one vid of one swimming and they're quite beautiful .. they really do resemble the ancient chinese dragons ..
Yes, the animal in these pictures is called an oarfish. Though they are rarely seen by humans, they are not endangered, nor have they ever been. They live very deep in the ocean and only come near the surface when they are either about to lay eggs or about to die. This is why they are usually filmed and photographed dead, rather than alive. So, you needn't worry about these critters; they're doing just fine. ;)
elit3brawler just a question. do you know where Oarfish lay thier young, if not then ur post proved nothing wrong so untill you get all the info you need don't insult people and call them liars.

It should be the biggest oarfish caught.
It is exposed in a temple in Lamma Island, Hong Kong. This stuff is almost the same length of the side of the temple.
