A fisherman landed a strange catch when he was fishing deep at sea and after sharing a picture of it online his followers were freaked out - as some thought it was a 'baby dragon'.
Roman Fedortsov has found some strange things before, including a mushroom-like orange creature, an aggressive-looking angler fish, and another catch that resembled a doughnut.
And now he's shared his latest find, a small fish that's longer than it is wide, and which his followers on social media describe as looking like a 'baby dragon'.
He pulled it from the water when he was fishing in the Norwegian Sea, and after sharing an image of his catch online his followers have been left terrified.
