A primitive looking fish that dates back to the dinosaur age was found washed up on Carolina Beach, North Carolina on Monday.
The fish appears to be an Atlantic Sturgeon, a fish that was declared endangered in 2012 by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.
The strange looking fish gets its strange appearance from the five rows of bony plates (known as scutes) on its back and can weight 500 pounds and grow up to 9 feet long.

The Atlantic Sturgeon spends most of its life swimming and hunting in saltwater and lay their eggs in freshwater.
