An angler had big surprise for reeling in a fish that looked like a dinosaur. It looked weird and it had huge eyes.
The 19.year old man, Oscar Lundalh, was hoping to get halibut, but he got this ratfish instead in north Norway.
He almost left his vessel when he saw the fish that he had reeled in for half an hour, but the fish did not survive. He took it home to eat it, saying that it tasked a lot like cod.
This fish shows that today's fishes can be quite extraordinary. The one who made them knew what he was doing, even below the surface.
