A deep-sea fish usually found at depths of 3,000 feet below the surface was found washed up on a California beach on Friday.
A beachgoer stumbled across the rare find in the sands of Newport Beach, Orange County, during a morning stroll.
Ben Estes believed the fish was so unique and "weird-looking" that he reported the find to state park rangers and lifeguards with Crystal Cove State Park.
Photos of the jet black fish were posted to social media by Davey's Locker Sportfishing & Whale Watching, a boat tour agency that operates in the area.
