HOLA MOLA. A sunbathing mola mola! After actively hunting at depths greater than 200 m (660 ft), mola molas (also known as ocean sunfish) spend time at the surface to warm up their bodies. These interesting creatures are the world's largest bony fish. The largest known mola mola weighed in at a staggering 5,070 lbs (2,300 kg). The average pickup truck is about 4,000 pounds (1814 kg). 😮 🎥: Delaney Trowbridge Photography aboard Newport Coastal Adventure | Ocean Conservation Research - OCR

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. One of the most common misconceptions is mistaking their tall, triangular dorsal fin for that of a shark. But here's how you can tell the difference: Sunfish fins move side to side, gently flapping as they bask

It's almost time to pop the bubbly! Our ocean sunfish is apparently a party animal, and got a little carried away with the bubble curtain in our Open Sea exhibit... Another year, another lap around the sunfish! | Monterey Bay Aquarium
