There are numerous creatures in this god’s green Earth and many times when we come across a never-seen-before animal, we tend to get scared. A similar incident occurred at a Singapore beach where a man got scared after discovering a monster-looking fish peeping out from the sand.
A man named Denis Chan saw the fish during Intertidal Exploration. While Dennis was walking on the beach, he encountered a strange creature with poisonous thorns that looked like a monster fish. He screamed out of fear. Later, he composed himself and went close to the fish to get a proper look. He realised that a Stargazer Fish buried themselves in the sand to get their prey. Dennis Chan didn’t leave the opportunity to capture this strange creature. Before the fish disappeared in the sand, Dennis Chan captured the rare sighting of the fish and uploaded it on social media. The video has gone viral now.
In the viral video, the Stargazer fish is seen looking at the sky while hiding themselves in the sand. Their pectoral fins help them to hide in the sand. These fish are usually found between the states of North Carolina and New York, therefore the sightings of these fishes at Singapore beach have gone viral. The Stargazer fish has white spots all over its body.
The mouth of the stargazer faces up so that it can ambush prey while hiding in the sandy bottoms of coastal bodies of water. The top body of the stargazer has a special organ which can generate and transmit an electric shock. The video has been uploaded by a page named Untamed Paths on Instagram. The video has garnered over 50 million views on Instagram. The post has also received over a million likes. Take a look at the post:
The video unlocked a new fear inside the netizens. While some people called it “quite terrifying”, others labelled it a demonic fish. One of the users commented “This has taken my sleep away. Now I will never go into the water.” Another wrote, “A new fear has emerged.”
