15. This is a rarely seen sea creature that
washed ashore on a Mexican beach in
October 2012. Its biological name is
Regalecus glesne, or king of herrings,
and it’s the longest bony fish in the
world. It resides at depths ranging from
600 to 3,000 feet and rarely comes up
to the surface, which is why sightings
are rare. It’s considered to be a prime
candidate for the origin of the legends
of the sea serpent.
