The Sunfish, or Mola, is one of the
strangest beasts in the ocean. How on earth did evolution choose to give this thing the fantastically odd shape it has?
I mean, it looks like Darwin was about halfway through with the thing and then got distracted by something (a Red Sox
game?) and forgot to finish. The mold was made and thown out with this bizarro fish. Well, a lot of Kiwi beach-goers
were wondering the same thing recently when one of the behemoth pancake fish
washed ashore in New Zealand. The fish in this
picture was estimated to be almost 9 feet long.
