A unique deep-sea angler fish washed up on an Oregon beach for the first time in recorded history, according to a local aquarium.

Seaside Aquarium, which is located in Seaside, Oregon, wrote a Facebook post about the remarkable discovery on May 18. The dead Pacific footballfish was found by local beachgoers near Cannon Beach.

"Living in complete darkness, at 2,000 -3,300 feet, these fish are rarely seen," Seaside Aquarium explained. "In fact, only 31 specimens have been recorded around the world."

The aquarium told Fox News Digital that, to its knowledge, the fish is the 32nd Pacific footballfish ever seen by humans.
