Researchers discovered the deep sea creature in Spain’s Canary Islands, capturing footage of it in broad daylight for the first time in history.

A deep-sea anglerfish, with its mouthful of sharp teeth, was spotted near the surface of the water near the Canary Islands off the coast of Africa earlier this month. The videos and pictures were taken by Condrik Tenerife a Spanish NGO that researches sharks and rays in the Canary Islands and marine photographer David Jara Borguña.

This is only the second time the species has been recorded while alive. “I thought it was A.I.,” says fish biologist Kory Evans.
