A deep-sea fisherman has made a shocking discovery, catching a strange, otherworldly creature that looks straight out of a sci-fi movie. This bizarre find has left the internet buzzing, with many comparing it to an alien species.
Roman Fedortsov, the fisherman behind this eerie catch, pulled the creature from the depths of the northern Pacific Ocean. He shared a video of the unusual fish with his 600,000 followers, sparking curiosity and fascination online.
The creature has been identified as an Aptocyclus ventricosus, commonly known as the smooth lumpfish or smooth lumpsucker. This species of deep-sea fish, a type of marine ray-finned fish, typically grows up to 44cm in length. While its appearance is already striking, the fish seemed to undergo additional swelling—likely due to pressure changes when it was brought to the surface—giving it an even more alien-like, distorted body.
The discovery of the Aptocyclus ventricosus has captivated many, with its bizarre look and unusual features making it a hot topic for marine biology enthusiasts and those fascinated by strange ocean life.
Roman, who primarily works on a trawler in Murmansk, Russia, posted a video of the creature on board the boat, which quickly amassed over 200,000 views.
Some users drew comparisons to pop culture icons, with one dubbing it “Megamind” after the cartoon character with an oversized head, and another likening it to “The Dark Lord” from Harry Potter.
