Queen of Nagas

On the wall of Kwanjai Thai is this photo, whose caption reads Queen of Nagas seized by American Army by Mekong Delta, 1973, 7.80 meters. "Is it an eel?" we asked our waitress. "A dragon fish," she said.

It may be a Paya Naga, who casts fireballs from the Mekong. Alternative stories are reported.

The experts at an American Piscatorial society examined it meticulously and found: -
1: That this was a unique creature not seen or captured before.
2: That it was a creature of the river and not from the sea.
3: That it had green blood.

An "Andy Z." is reported to report that "the photo was taken on September 19, 1996 at the Naval Special Warfare Center, Coronado, California," of what was identified as an oarfish.

Oarfish are stunning things.
