Video captures divers discovering a rare oarfish swimming near the ocean surface.
The fish has a shimmering silver color and is swimming near the ocean surface.
A video posted on Instagram shows divers approaching a rare oarfish in the waters near Taiwan. In the video, the fish is shimmering silver and swimming close to the surface of the ocean.
The divers reported that the fish is approximately 2 meters long and has several strange holes on its body. According to the New York Post, the oarfish is known as the longest bony fish species. It can reach a maximum size of up to 17 meters.
It is uncommon for oarfish to swim close to the ocean surface. Some divers speculate that the fish might be dying, which is why it has ventured into shallower waters than its typical habitat.
