Kayakers Film Sea Monsters!

Does anyone remember the strange creatures that beach goers had found washed up on beaches in California last year? Some stumbled across long, serpentine creatures that resembles sea serpents from legends and tales. (See the CNN story here.)

Well it turned out that these creatures were the extremely rare Oar Fist, that has seldom been seen alive. They remain a mystery due to the fact that they are usually found washed up on shore and almost never photographed or filmed in the wild. The only known live video was actually taken by an underwater submersible... that is until now. (Here is that video.)


Recently some people kayaking came across a pair of live Oar Fish as they seemed to be trying to beach themselves. The humans then helped them back in the water and were able to get some pretty amazing footage of them from both above and below the water.

Here is the article I originally read about the siting and found the link to the video. I embedded the video below.
