About this listen

Dive into the enigmatic oarfish, the world’s longest bony fish, with a pale silver body and a dramatic crimson crest. We trace its twilight-zone lifestyle from the sunlit epipelagic down to mesopelagic depths, and explore its unusual amiform swimming that keeps it hanging vertical. We unravel the mystery of tail autotomy, separate myth from biology behind the earthquake omen, and use rare sightings to illuminate a creature as strange as folklore itself.
