Although he oarfish It is one of the most striking marine animals that can be observed in the national territory, the truth is that its sighting can cause some concern, because now after appear a specimen on the beaches of Mazatlanis that many people are uncertain about whether looms a strong earthquake for Mexico in April.
He oarfish (Regalecus glesne) is a deep-water specimen that lives in the Pacific Ocean. It measures up to 17 meters long and has a long, thin body, similar to a snake. In Mexico and other countries, there is a popular belief that the appearance of any of these specimens is an omen of earthquake.
The belief that appear a oarfish It is a harbinger of a coming strong earthquake for Mexico It arose because it has been reported that after several sightings of this type of fish, these appearances have coincided with intense telluric movements days later.
On this occasion it was last weekend when it became a trend on social networks that appeared a oarfish on the beach of Isla de Piedra in Mazatlan, Sinaloa. In the video released you can see the marine animal hovering very close to the shore.
Through the images of oarfish that appears in Mazatlan It is observed that at first the animal is swimming at a very shallow depth, but later it is exposed on the surface, apparently already lifeless, so several people surround it to admire it.
Is it true that a strong earthquake is coming to Mexico in April after oarfish appear in Mazatlán?
As mentioned, in various countries and cultures it is considered oarfish as a sign of some natural disaster, mainly earthquakes, but the TRUE is that it is impossible to predict whether looms a strong earthquake for Mexico in Aprilsince there is no scientific evidence to support this belief.
Specialists consider that the sightings of the oarfish on the surface they could be due to disease or disorientation of the animal, rather than a harbinger of natural disasters. It is so that the earthquakes that have occurred after seeing one of these animals, in TRUE It would be a simple coincidence.
