Natural History Wanderings

The LA Times  reported  on the discovery of a dead 18-foot oarfish off Catalina Island by an instructor snorkeling in Toyon Bay. Oarfish are rarely seen as they are usually found deep in the ocean. They can be as long as 56 feet. The finding will provide new research opportunities. See photo, video and read more at: 18-foot-long oarfish carcass discovered!
