Moonfish: On average, it weighs 1000 kg, although it can weigh over two tons. The maximum size they have is three meters. This fish is recognized as the heaviest bony fish in the world. Its scientific name is Mola Mola (lat.Mola mola).

The fish has truly bizarre body shapes. The round body, noticeably flattened from the sides, is decorated with two huge dorsal and anal fins. The tail is more like structures called corns.

Sunfish has no scales, her body is covered with rough and tough skin, which in emergency situations can even change its color. An ordinary harpoon does not take it. The skin is elastic, covered with a layer of mucus. The breakwater has a different color depending on the location of the breakwater. The hue ranges from brownish, brownish-gray to light gray-bluish.

Mola mola is the largest and most famous on all continents in warm and temperate waters. The mola ramsayi, a South Oceanic sunfish, swims below the equator in waters in Australia, New Zealand, Chile and South Africa.

The average breakwater of a breakwater is about 2.5 meters high and 2 meters long. In this case, the maximum marks relate to the limits of 4 and 3 meters, respectively. The heaviest moonfish was caught in 1996. The female weighed a whopping 2,300 kilograms. For ease of comparison, this is the size of an adult white rhinoceros.
