According to Marinduque Animal and Wildlife Rescue Emergency Response Team, they were able to return the giant fish into the ocean in time with the help of ‘punong barangay’ and residents who immediately reported the incident.

The rescue team also said that the sea creature is already experiencing fatigue and weakening when they found it.

Previously, the sightings of deep-sea creatures in shallow water have been linked to impending natural calamities and disasters. A Japanese seismologist said that deep-sea creatures are sensitive and their appearance in shallow waters indicates that something is happened under the sea bed.
