Mola Mola

From NOAA Ocean Today:

Do you know what fish is shown in this picture? That was a hint. Well its a mola mola, also known as the ocean sunfish. The mola mola is the heaviest bony fish in the world, weighing as much as 5,000 pounds and measuring up to 14 feet from fin tip to fin tip! Check out the NOAA Office of National Marine Sanctuaries Earth is Blue website (http://sanctuaries.noaa.gov/earthisblue.html) where they are sharing a photo each day and a video each week highlighting the wonder and beauty of America's national marine sanctuaries.
