According to the Daily Mail, 9 News and other foreign media, Curtis Peterson, captain of Australia 'Tiwi Islands Adventures', succeeded in catching a live hairtail on Melville Island last week.
The fish caught were mountain hairtail that lived at a depth of up to 1000 m.
There is a myth that it is a precursor to disasters such as earthquakes, so it is also called 'Fish of the Last Day' and 'Fish of the Last Day'.
It was too big for two men to listen to together, and had a horse-like head and plate-sized eyes. Real adult mountain hairtail is known to grow up to 9 m.
Fishing columnist Alex Julius explained "It's rare that live hairtails are caught"Most of them are washed up on the coast in a dead state".
Netizens are saying, `It's like an alien creature", "Isn't disaster happening?", "Isn't it the descendant of the seahorse who refused to go extinct at the time when dinosaurs disappeared?" give a back reaction.
