Experts say a bizarre-looking fish that a beachwalker discovered on April 5 at Drakes Bay in Point Reyes National Seashore, about 60 miles north of San Francisco, is a lancetfish.
A photo of the fish was posted on the West Marin Feed, which tracks local news, and it got a lot of people talking and wondering, was this a rare find? |

"They are found all over the world's oceans, but mostly inhabit deeper waters, so it's unusual to find one on the beach like this," Luiz Rocha, a fish scientist and curator at the California Academy of Sciences, wrote in an email. |
