A scary-looking fish washed up on the shore of Crystal Cove State Park’s Marine Protected Area in Newport Beach, CA, last Friday. The Pacific footballfish, whose skin is covered in spikes, was found with its mouth agape and showing its pointy teeth.
It is one of over 200 living species of anglerfish that are usually found 3,000 feet below sea level. Anglerfish are known for their fangs and light bulb-type antenna that dangles from their head.
