Or more commonly known as the Ocean Sunfish. Pictures can barely capture the size of these fish giants. Average adults weigh in at 2,200 lbs. They are the largest bony fish in the world (some have cartilage).
The top picture is one from 1910 and weighs in at 3,500 lbs.
They have few known predators; sharks, orcas and sea lions. And people (let's just assume that's a predator for any animal I post, unless otherwise noted?). Their diet is pretty much strictly jellyfish, for some reason. And they live in the tropics. Since today is a busy day at work, that's all the info I'm putting up for today.
