Finally, an enamel pin honoring your favorite deep sea creature.
The giant oarfish is an oceanodromous species with a worldwide distribution, excluding polar regions.
Other common names include Pacific oarfish, king of herrings, ribbonfish, and streamer fish. R. glesne is the world's longest bony fish.
Its shape is ribbon-like, narrow laterally, with a dorsal fin along its entire length, stubby pectoral fins, and long, oar-shaped pelvic fins, from which its common name is derived.
Its coloration is silvery with dark markings, and its fins are red.
Its physical characteristics and its undulating mode of swimming have led to speculation that it might be the source of many "sea serpent" sightings.
