SEASIDE, Ore. -- After getting a call about a strange fish washing ashore Friday morning, the Seaside Aquarium found a Longnose skate.
Scientists said the skates are not uncommon in the wild, but an unusual find for beachcombers.
The animals dwell in coastal areas, estuaries, bays and continental shelves, according to experts.
Officials from the aquarium said it was about three blocks north of the turnaround on the beach.
