Fisherman Catches 'Dinosaur-Like' FishWith Giant Eyes & Tiny Body In Norway

A fisherman in Norway was shocked when he caught a bizarre dinosaur-like creature. Oscar Lundahl caught the fish with bulbous eyes near Andoya island off Northern Norway. The photo of the fish has been doing rounds on social media.

The fish had enormous eyes that looked out of proportion with its tiny body.

"It was pretty amazing, I have never seen anything like it before. It just looked weird, a bit dinosaur-like. I didn¡¯t know what it was but my colleague did," Oscar, a fishing guide for Nordic Sea Angling, said.

He was fishing in 2,600-foot-deep water, when he found the fish. The unusual creature is a ratfish. It has a head of a lion and a tail of a dragon. The ratfish dates back 300 million years and are said to be harmless to humans.

It has giant eyes which are developed to enable them to see in the darkness of the deep waters they live in.

The ratfish did not survive due to the sudden change in pressure, so Oscar decided to take it home and eat it.

In another incident, Debbie Geddes was fishing with her husband in Lake Champlain, North America, when she reeled in a fish with two mouths!
