Touchdown

(Public Domain)
It’s not even football season, yet something washed up on a California shore that strangely resembles the proverbial pigskin.

Turns out to be a rare type of anglerfish: one that generally dwells deep beneath the Pacific surface, and one that is named “footballfish” for obvious reasons.

Why it touched down on land is anyone’s guess.  California Fish and Wildlife may come up with a theory or two as it examines the foot-and-a-half bulging carcass.
