  • READ MORE: The eerie deep sea creatures that are hardly ever seen by humans 

A rare oarfish that is said to predict ‘something bad is going to happen’ has washed up on a beach in the Canary Islands.

Oarfish are often interpreted as a bad omen when seen outside of their natural habitat – the depths of the ocean.

The sea creature was discovered by bathers on 10 February and has sparked worries online.

A video of the fish appearing on the beach has over nine million views on Instagram so far, as reported by NeedToKnow.

In the video, a man wearing swim shorts goes up to a silver creature with its translucent orange fins to rescue it.

The oarfish, known in Japanese mythology as Ry*g* no tsukai – or ‘messenger of the Sea God’ – has historically been linked to anticipating catastrophic events such as earthquakes, hurricanes, tsunamis and cyclones.

It is difficult to study due to its normal habitat deep in the sea.

This particular oarfish was found on the coast of Playa Quemada on the Canary Islands.

Someone else said: ‘Put that back and run, may be a tsunami coming.’

Zaria commented: ‘PUT IT BACK.’

The sighting in the Canary Islands comes just weeks after a similar fish sparked fears on a beach in Mexico.

Surfers spotted the creature on the southern tip of the Baja California Peninsula.

The massive fish, about as long as a surfboard, featured a silvery-blue body with a stunning red fin trailing down its back but had an injured tail.

They can measure up to 36 feet in length and weigh over 441 pounds.

Legend has it that the fish are harbingers of earthquakes and other natural disasters.

A local who witnessed the scene in Mexico said: ‘They say those fish appear when there is going to be a very strong tsunami.’

Incredible moment hero bystander tackles Bondi Beach gunman and turns gun on him after mass shooting during Jewish party in Australia

Published

A dramatic video has captured the moment a brave bystander disarmed one of the gunmen involved in the deadly Bondi Beach shooting on Sunday, December 14, preventing further bloodshed as chaos unfolded along the crowded shoreline.

The footage shows a man wearing a white T-shirt calmly approaching an armed attacker from behind as the suspect raises his weapon. In a swift move, the bystander grabs the gun, and after a brief struggle, successfully pulls it away from the shooter.

As the assailant falls to the ground, the civilian briefly points the weapon in his direction but does not fire. The gunman then staggers away, while the bystander places the firearm against a nearby tree before stepping back. Moments later, the camera pans to a second gunman, who appears visibly shaken by the sudden turn of events.

The courageous intervention came amid a violent attack in which two gunmen opened fire on beachgoers during a crowded evening at Bondi Beach. Gunshots echoed across the area, triggering panic as hundreds of people fled the sand and surrounding streets.

Police later confirmed that at least 10 people, including one of the attackers, were k!lled in the shooting. The second suspect was taken into custody. Authorities also said at least 12 others were injured, among them two police officers who were shot during the incident.

Witnesses told local media that the attackers exited a vehicle on Campbell Parade near the Bondi Pavilion at about 6:40pm before opening fire. Emergency responders rushed to the scene, with dozens of ambulances and helicopter paramedics deployed to assist victims. Paramedics treated multiple casualties on site, while others were transported to nearby hospitals.

One mother described scenes of terror as panic broke out while her daughters were at the beach with friends. Videos circulating online show large crowds running for safety as gunfire rang out.
