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.
