What is an Oarfish?


Last week I directed you all to a post by Ken Gerhard regarding the oil spill and how it may affect all creatures, known and cryptid alike.
In his post he had mentioned the giant and elusive Oarfish. For those of you unsure of what an Oarfish actually looks like, this article in from Sweden just today should give you a good idea! :

A "giant herring" measuring 3.5 metres (11.4 feet) has been discovered off Sweden's western coast -- the first such fish found in the Scandinavian country in more than 130 years, a maritime museum said Tuesday.

The Regalecus glesne, known as the King of Herrings or Giant Oarfish, was found dead in the small fishing village of Bovallstrand on Sweden's west coast, about 90 kilometers (56 miles) from the Norwegian border.
