The discovered animal is a female Pacific soccer fish, which can fly over 7 meters. The male of the same species is usually only 30 centimeters long and acts as a parasite, the only function of which is to help the female reproduce, experts say.

Pacific football fish belong to the order Lofiformes, a line of skeletal fish that often have a structure in front of their head that glows to attract prey in the darkness of the depths of the oceans where they live.

Its teeth are sharp and pointed like pieces of glass, and its mouth is capable of absorbing prey the size of its own body, according to a state park release.
