@chengruwang —Meet the oarfish (Regalecus glesne), one of the rarest fish in the world and a likely inspiration for sea monster legends. Normally, humans only encounter this deep sea creature when it washes up dead on shores.

These lucky scuba divers got an extraordinary chance to see it alive.

This incredible fish holds another impressive record - it’s the longest bony fish known to us, with the biggest one measuring a whopping 36 feet (11 meters) long. The oarfish has a unique way of swimming - vertically, with its head up and tail down - and it can move both horizontally and vertically in the water. Quite a fascinating creature, isn’t it?
