Oar Fish

This is a picture of an oarfish. They are real sea creatures that live out in the pelagic zone which is the open deep oceans of the world. They are rarely seen except when they are near death and float onto a beach. These fish creatures can reach lengths of 30 feet or more and were probably where sailors came up with the tales of seeing sea monsters. We do not know that much about them as far as their habits but that they are part of a small family of ocean fish.
