The Ocean Sunfish (Mola mola) is a large bony fish native to tropical and temperate waters all around the Global Oceans.
This large fish eats lots of Jellies, consuming several to maintain bulk. It is the largest and heaviest of all bony fish, and often leap out of the water, or stick their sides out for unknown reasons.
