A rare deep-sea Pacific oarfish measuring 9.5 feet was recovered last week at Grandview Beach in Encinitas , California .

The discovery was made by PhD candidate Alison Laferriere from the Scripps Institution of Oceanography .

This is only the 21st time since 1901 that this species has washed up on California shores.

Oarfish are exceptionally rare creatures, typically inhabiting depths between 200 and 1,000 meters .

This recent wash-up offers scientists a unique opportunity to study this elusive species without diving into the ocean.
