Oarfish
Bizarre-looking oarfish washes
ashore on Cabo San Lucas beach

In Florida, scientists have their hands on a large and mysterious eyeball,
which washed ashore Wednesday, and are trying to determine what kind
of sea creature it belonged to. That could take a few days.
Oarfish are deep-water denizens that are rarely seen. But because of their
long, slender appearance, and their bright-orange dorsal fins and manes,
they helped spawn myths of sea serpents and sea monsters among
ancient mariners.
They've been known to reach lengths of 30-plus feet.
