A video of a creepy-looking ‘monster’ fish lurking in the water has gone viral.

João Rarussy was on a late-night angling trip when he encountered two ‘fish’ staring at him from underneath the murky ocean.

The creatures appear to be very large with faces quite different from any other fish.

Two pairs of glowing eyes and what looks almost like a smile stay fixed on João the entire time.

Even when he throws a fish he had caught back into the water, the two ‘monster’ fish are completely unphased and continue to stare back menacingly.

João was out in a boat in Mato Grosso, Brazil, as reported on What’s The Jam.

The video has been viewed more than 76 million times and has left people confused and taking guesses at what the creatures could be.

Some viewers speculated that they were arapaima fish.

Arapaima are native to South America and very large – on average they measure 10 feet long and weigh in at 440 pounds.

One user wrote: “Guys those are arapaima or pirarucu. they can breathe air and their body is almost entirely plated in bone. they also like to jump so they are quite dangerous.”
