LOOK: Another oarfish found in Southern Leyte After The Earthquake!

Another oarfish washed ashore in Southern Leyte Tuesday evening, sparking fears of an incoming earthquake.

In a photo and video shared by Bayan Patroller Lovella Elejorde, residents were abuzz with the oarfish that was found along the shore of Talisay, Libagon, Southern Leyte.



Witnesses said the oarfish was still alive when they saw it but was already weak until it died eventually.

Teresa Regis, Municipal Agriculturist Officer of Libagon Souther Leyte, said two fishermen saw the oarfish.

Regis added, the oarfish was female and is estimated to be 14.4-feet long and 1.2-feet wide.

This would be the third oarfish sighted in their municipality this year, according to Regis.

Some experts believe that deep-sea fish are capable of sensing tremors on the Earth's crust.

According to Kiyoshi Wadatsumi, in a statement published by Japan Times, such aquatic creatures are more sensitive to the movements of faults.
