The Earthquake Fish
Don't believe in sea monsters? Then you've never seen an oarfish. (Shown below and possibly above.) These long, silver, serpent-like fish can reach up to 56 feet in length, and they have a bright red dorsal fin that runs the entire length of their bodies.
Oarfish live in deep water and are seldom seen by humans. Which is why the Japanese are a little worried that nineteen of them have recently washed ashore. What's going on in the ocean's murky depths that might be sending them to the surface? Watch this video and find out.
(Thanks to an AD reader for the tip!!)

BEYOND COOL.
I was thinking the exact same thing as Gymnast20. They look like the snakelike dragons of eastern myth.
By the way, if you click on the link, and then on the page to which it brings you if you go to the URL bar (I don't know the technical term) at the top and remove the "http://www.kikistrikenyblogspot.com" and the little /br surrounded by carats, it takes you to the right page.
Oooh. Are they swimming towards something, or -away- from something?
Questions, questions.
My Mom said I might be able to get a fish...
Video link is fixed. Sorry, guys.
That looks so awesome!:D
