Something Big Is Happening? "Glowing Earthquake Fish" Appear on Coast, Causing Fears: It's Terrible

The oarfish, a deep-sea fish, has been nicknamed "earthquake fish" due to its occasional appearances around the time of earthquakes. Recently, a rare sighting in the Canary Islands off Spain has sparked concern among locals about potential impending disasters.

According to reports from media outlets like Dailymail, on February 10th, tourists at Playa Quemada beach in the Canary Islands witnessed an oarfish jumping onto the shore. The fish had a silvery-white body with orange-red dorsal fins and whiskers that shimmered under sunlight. After frantically flopping on the sand and losing vitality, bystanders rushed forward to rescue it and guided it back into the sea.

Oarfish typically inhabit depths between 200 and 500 meters below sea level and can dive as deep as 1000 meters. They are rarely seen by humans due to their limited numbers and preference for deeper waters. Their infrequent appearances in shallow waters often lead people to view them as omens of impending disasters.

In both Western and Eastern folklore, oarfish are associated with natural calamities such as earthquakes and tsunamis. This recent sighting has sparked heated discussions online with comments like "They usually surface before an earthquake," "Something bad is coming," "The doomsday fish," or "They appear before natural disasters." However, marine researchers have clarified that there is currently no direct evidence linking oarfish sightings with seismic activity.

Scientists speculate that increased sightings might be related to changes in ocean environments or cycles like El Niño/anti-El Niño events rather than any predictive ability regarding earthquakes.
