A terrifying fish that lives in the deep sea off the coast of California.

An unusual fish with a football-shaped body with teeth as sharp as glass landed on a California beach last week.
It is very rare to see a real angler fish and do not know how this fish got to shore.

There are more than 200 species of angler fish worldwide, most commonly found in the dark depths of the ocean. The animal's teeth are sharp and stand out like pieces of glass, and their large mouth is capable of grabbing prey the size of their body.

Scientists say the female is a fish because of the size of the animal and the protruding part of its head. The tree-like part is used as an attraction to draw a prey to the darkness of the water.

A female fish can grow up to 24 inches. The sighting of these strange and fascinating fish is a testament to the diversity of marine life that lies beneath the surface of the water, and how much is unknown about our marine oceans.

This information was found on the Internet.

Thanks for reading .
Have a nice day

@goldcoin 1st impression was alien. But in the deep sea. It is a beautiful fish.

Whoa what!!!That mouth .. I bet it was a good predator 😅

Woo! that's right, my friend! We have an immense diversity of fauna and flora, that's why it is so difficult to know it all. Good post!

The main concern was why these creatures came to the top surface of the sea. As the scientists say it's not a good sign.
