Video has surfaced showing two deep-sea oarfish moments after the "giant sea serpents" had stranded on a beach in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico.

The accompanying footage, shared Wednesday by We Love Animals, is narrated by Instagram user Monica and Company. It describes the encounter and shows an attempt to rescue the oarfish, although the result of that endeavor is unclear.

Oarfish are long, ribbon-like denizens with crimson dorsal fins, believed to have spawned tales of sea monsters among ancient mariners. The so-called "doomsday fish" - believed by some to strand in advance of tsunamis or earthquakes - can measure 30-plus feet.

Oarfish live at depths of about 3,000 feet and are rarely observed. Several standings have occurred in Cabo San Lucas and elsewhere in Baja California Sur over the years, mostly involving dead specimens.
