Encounter with the elusive giant Oarfish, a submarine odyssey

The video explores the giant oarfish, a legendary sea creature known for its immense size, reaching up to 56 feet in length. It is the world's longest bony fish, typically weighing around 600 lbs. Oarfish are found in all oceans except the Arctic and are known for their migratory behavior, traveling vast distances to feed on plankton and krill. Despite their size, they lack real teeth, using gill rakers to filter food. They inhabit deep ocean waters but are sometimes seen at shallower depths. Unlike many fish, oarfish lead solitary lives, embarking on endless journeys across the globe.
