Mola Mola

Description and Comments

My family and I were taking a walk on the beach at night. I was playing in the ocean and I stepped on something. I did not know what it was. My mom and dad said it was seaweed then I brought it to them, then they said "I don't know what that is!" then my dad took out his phone and took a picture with the flash. I yelled "IT'S A SUNFISH!!!!!" The next day my dad sent an email/picture to the Monterey Bay Aquarium. They told him to report the mola mola sighting to your website because they eat jellies!

Mola mola do indeed almost live on jellyfish, it's part of their main diet. Where are its fins though? If it's fishermen who caught this, took the fins and left the body, I'd be so pissed off.
