Last week, two Oarfish were found beached on the California coast. This subsequently set the internet ablaze with conspiracy theories surrounding their deaths. But the way to ultimately figure out how these creatures met their demise is to conduct a necropsy. And that is exactly what scientists at NOAA did. Not only that, they posted the pictures online! I can’t embed the pictures here, but I encourage you to check them out at http://www.nmfs.noaa.gov/podcasts/2013/10/oarfish.html#.UmtU5pR4awG. And don’t miss the podcast. NOAA biologist Russ Vetter talks about the oarfish, the dissection and sticking his hand down its throat. Yeah he went there. I wouldn’t.
