By shaking itself, oonamazu caused earthquakes throughout Japan, this legendary animal was suddenly photographed and posted on… Twitter.

Twitter account Louoly_o0 has just posted on the social network Twitter an image of a “monster” with a strange shape with slippery skin, a wide and dark mouth, which has been extremely rare in the mass media. .

Louoly_o0 said this is: “a creature that no fisherman has seen in 60 years”.

This monster was named “ghost shark” by Facebook and Twitter users due to its monstrous shape.

The animal’s entire body is 4 meters long and weighs about 1 ton, looking very similar to the animal in the picture of the oonamazu monster .

In ancient times, Japanese people believed that dragons were the cause of earthquakes. However, since the Edo period, the notion that this was the fault of giant catfish became popular.

People even drew a picture depicting how to overcome earthquakes by destroying this giant catfish.

By chance, oonamazu appeared right after the earthquake in Kumamoto, on the Japanese island of Kyuushu, killing at least 41 people and injuring over 2,000 people.

According to Louoly_o0, the animal was caught by a fisherman on the morning of April 14 and brought to Owase in Mie Prefecture.

However, the mystery of oonamazu is gradually being revealed, when scientists believe that oonamazu has the characteristics of the Megamouth Shark , also known as the “big mouth shark” . encountered more than 100 times around the world and mysteriously disappeared from sight since 1976.
