sirineou Posted January 7 Share Posted January 7 ‘Disaster is coming,’ Panic in Thailand after fishermen caught ‘earthquake fish’ "Recently, a very rare fish was reeled in by fishermen in Thailand, and now they are worried a deadly earthquake and tsunami might be on their way and bringing devastation. The fish here in question is the oarfish, also known as ‘harbinger of doom’ or ‘the earthquake fish,’ which is generally found in waters at a depth of 1,000 metres and is rarely seen by humans on the surface. The eerie-looking sea creature can grow to as long as 11 metres and was caught by Thai fishermen on Wednesday (Jan 3) in the Andaman Sea. According to Japanese folklore, if you ever spot an oarfish in shallow waters, you better brace for an earthquake or tsunami."

mfd101 Posted January 7 Share Posted January 7 As we were reminded just the other day, almost anything might in Japanese folklore be thought quite reasonably to cause an earthquake &/or tsunami. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peter zwart Posted January 7 Share Posted January 7 Oarfish are not commonly encountered by humans due to their deep-sea habitat, but they occasionally come to the surface or wash ashore, particularly during storms or when they are injured or dying. They are often associated with various myths and legends, possibly contributing to their mystique. Despite their unusual appearance, oarfish are not considered dangerous to humans. They primarily feed on small fish and plankton. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
