HOLY MOLA! Check out this Oceanic Sunfish (Mola mola) during our 24hr Marine Mammal and Pelagic Bird trip. This was just one of MANY MOLAS all through out the day! This individual had a lamprey latched on and we also saw another with a remora! We can spot them from a distance when their large dorsal fin flops back and forth at the surface of the water. They are a very unique fish with a large dorsal and anal fin and a short caudal fin. 📸 : Melissa Laurino https://www.capemaywhalewatch.com/offsh

Sunfish surprise! 🌞🐟 We crossed paths with a Mola mola yesterday—one of the ocean’s most fascinating (and funniest!) creatures. Always a treat to spot these gentle giants drifting at the surface! Fun facts about the Mola mola: • Heaviest bony fish in the world — up to 5,000 lbs! • They bask on the surface to warm up after deep dives. • Eat mainly jellyfish, but need tons because they’re low-calorie. • Often seen with birds or fish picking off parasites. • Can grow over 10 feet tall from fin ti

A lunge feeding Sunfish! The Mola molas have been on a binge this past week off Newport, consuming one by one the millions of “By the Wind Sailors”, a jellyfish like animal. It’s rare that we observe them feeding at all, and it’s been very entertaining to watch 😂 Video by Capt Ryan @lawofthelandnsea #oceansunfish #molamola #fish #fishing #whales #whalewatching #dolphins #sharks #visitcalifornia #californiacoast #canonr5 #newportbeach #orangecounty #exploreoutdoors #oceanlife #oceanlovers #pacif

The ocean sunfish, commonly known as mola mola, will regularly bask on their sides near the surface of the ocean. Found in all oceans, excluding the polar seas, sunfish can dive to over 600m (~2000 feet), into icy cold waters. With no tail fin, this bony fish does appear as unusual, using its prominent dorsal and anal fins to swim and manoeuvre our oceans. 🎥: Byron Dilkes #saveourseasfoundation #oceansunfish #molamola | Save Our Seas Foundation

You told us that you loved molas...and who are we to disagree? We love them, too! Commonly called a sunfish, the species seen here is a sharptail mola, which can measure up to 3.4 meters (11 feet) long and weigh up to 2,000 kg (4,800 pounds). Adult molas primarily eat jellyfish and are capable of diving to depths of about 1000 meters. They tend to spend a good part of the day floating near the surface where it's thought they're using the sun's rays to warm their body temperature before making an
