7.3-foot hoodwinker sunfish, a rare temperate-water fish, washes up on Oregon's northern coast.

A massive rare fish, believed to only live in temperate waters in the southern hemisphere, has washed up on Oregon's northern coast, drawing crowds of curious onlookers. The 7.3-foot hoodwinker sunfish first appeared on the beach in Gearhart on Monday and remained there on Friday, as it is hard for scavengers to puncture its tough skin. The fish may stay on the beach for weeks.
