The creature in front of him doesn't look like enough to stuff his teeth
Not as big as a fingernail
But they can eventually grow up to 5.5 meters
Scientists discovered them in 1766
At first, scientists thought they had discovered a completely new species
Scientists later discovered that the creature was actually a baby of a sunfish
It is difficult for an uninformed person to connect these two creatures
Mola is also known as Mola Fish
It is a large marine fish
The body is flattened laterally and is oval in shape
There is only one sickle-shaped dorsal fin
Mola molas are mainly found in tropical waters and warm temperate waters around the world
Mola pups are very different from adults
Molas are only a few millimeters in size when they are born
Smaller than a child's nails
It weighs only one or two grams
But the growth rate of the sunfish is amazing
Ideally, sunfish can gain up to one pound of weight per day
It can eventually grow up to 5.5 meters
Molas are also the biggest birthers among fish
Generally, the number of fish spawning is about 300,000 per spawn
Sharks are in the pitiful single digits
And the sunfish spawn a terrifying 300 million per spawn
As a result, the sunfish is the fish with the highest number of single spawning trips in the world
Baby sunfish are born and face a variety of dangers
Because they are too small to ward off enemies at all
A storm or predator attack
This will kill most of the sunfish larvae
As a result, the survival rate of sunfish pups is very low
Only one in ten million
It can also be thought of as such
The reason why the sunfish has survived to this day
By being able to live
Because it is round and flat, it makes people laugh and cry
Molas are not very good swimmers
They are a very slow swimming fish
Often go with the flow, sometimes drift to the shore
However, the sunfish's diving skills are not bad
In search of food, sunfish often have to dive to about 800 meters
You know, the deeper the water, the greater the pressure
Molas feed mainly on seaweed, some molluscs, jellyfish, and crustaceans
The newborn sunfish is inconspicuous and bullied
Once the sunfish successfully grows, it becomes a giant in the sea
