A rare species of angler fish has washed ashore on Newport Beach in California for the second time. The first Football specific was ashore the very same beach in 2021.
Beachgoers in California got a jarring sight this week when an angler fish that typically lives 2,000 feet beneath the surface of the ocean turned up on a Southern California beach.
A Pacific football fish, a species of angler fish, was spotted by a beachgoer visiting Crystal Cove State Park in Newport Beach, California Tuesday. Spotting one of the fish is rare - the last time a Pacific football fish was seen in the area was May of 2021.
