Recognized for its massive, flattened body and large fins, this gentle giant can grow up to 3.3 meters long and weigh as much as 2,300 kilograms. Ocean sunfish inhabit tropical and temperate waters around the world, feeding mainly on jellyfish and other gelatinous orga

An Ocean Sunfish (Mola mola) swimming close to shore! Known as the heaviest bony fish in the ocean, these gentle giants are often misunderstood. Despite their impressive size, ocean sunfish are completely harmless to humans, feeding primarily on jellyfish and other gelatinous zooplankton.

The mola mola, or ocean sunfish, stands as an astonishing wonder of the sea. This colossal fish features a round, flat body and can grow to a height of up to 10 feet (3 meters) from one fin tip to the other, usually with a body length that is less than its height. Its weight ranges from 247 to 1,000 kg (545 to 2,205 lbs), though it’s rare for it to reach an extraordinary weight of 5,000 pounds (2,268 kg). 🎥 : @davidochoapt | Club Ocean

As gigantic as the ocean sunfish can be, it still seems like only half a fish.

They are a silvery color and have a rough skin texture. The mola are the heaviest of all the bon
