Earthquake Prophecy: Giant Oarfish Found on California's Catalina Island

Oarfish are also known as earthquake fish, leaving many to believe that these creatures tend to wash up when an earthquake in the area is looming.



In the months before the Japan earthquake and tsunami in 2011, several oarfish had washed up in the surrounding area.



Though there is no scientific evidence to prove that oarfish predict earthquakes, but animals in nature tend to have a 6th sense in anticipating extreme natural events.
