Big sea creatures are usually found in the deep ocean. They are seldom seen on the sea surface or the shore and when it happened, some folklores tell that something unexpected will happen.
Just like the sightings of the oarfish. In ancient Japan the oarfish is called ryugu no tsukai or "messenger from the sea god's palace." They believe that an earthquake or a tsunami is about to happen if this creature shows up but there is no concrete scientific basis.
Before the 6.7 magnitude earthquake hit surigao City, a giant oarfish. Some theory claiming animal abilities to sense the upcoming disaster surfaced but there is still no scientific basis. Dr. Rachel Grant , a researcher in animal biology who study the possibility of detecting earthquakes using animal behavior said that the 'myth' about the oarfish being able to sense the forthcoming earthquake can be possible.
However, Catherine Dukes said that its not the way to predict earthquakes.
"It's just a way to warn that the Earth is moving and something — an earthquake, or a landslide or something else — might follow," she said.
