The silvery, iridescent oarfish was captured on video washing onto the shores of Playa El Quemado in Baja California Sur, making a rare appearance in broad daylight.
“The fish swam straight at us, lifting its head above the water about two inches,” Robert Hayes, the beachgoer who recorded the fish, told Storyful.

“We redirected it three times out to the water, but it came back each time.”
The flat-bodied fish laid itself out on the beach, outside the water, before people approached the creature.
Another man in the video who identified the deep-sea species attempted to return the “flailing fish” back into the ocean before it swam right back up to shore.
“This is amazing, it’s the smallest one (oarfish) I’ve ever seen,” the man can be heard saying in the video.
