The ocean sunfish or common mola are among the heaviest known bony fishes in the world. They are usually found in tropical and temperate waters. They have a weird structure with a tall head and fins like a shark, but its main body is flattened laterally. They are often mistaken for sharks because of their fins. Their predators include bigger killer whales and sharks. They are also a delicacy in some parts like Japan, Korea and Taiwan. In their tiniest form, they look like the sun. The newly hatched larvae of the fish are only 2.5 mm and weigh less than one gram. Not all of them survive those that do grow to millions of times their original size. They can grow upto 60 million times their birth size! It is needless to say, the most extreme size growth seen in any vertebrate animal.
