Earlier this month, a paddle fish also washed ashore on Mindanao Island, two days before the 6.7-magnitude earthquake occurred.

According to the Japanese conception, the oarfish corpses drifted to the shore as an ominous premonition . This belief comes from a legend of oarfish fish drifting on the coast is the message sent from the palace of the sea god. Japanese fishermen also named this fish "sea dragon".

However, according to experts, because they live near the sea floor, they are more sensitive to the movements of the soil. However, whether or not this fish has the ability to predict earthquakes or not has no scientific research to prove it.

Oarfish fish often live at a depth of about 200-1,000m above sea level. They have very long whiskers on their heads and their faces are quite scary. Adult oarfish fish can grow to 17m long.
