Giant oarfish has been found on a Californian beach - the second such discovery in less than a week.
The carcass of the 4.3m (14ft) long creature was spotted by a man snorkelling in waters close to the city of Oceanside.
Last week 15 people managed to drag a 5.5m (18ft) long oarfish to the shore of Santa Catalina island.
Suzanne Kohin from the National Marine Fisheries Service said: "These two events that we heard of in the last few weeks are the only ones I've ever heard of."
