Daily fish fact #456

Ocean sunfish (Mola mola)!

Their scientific name, mola, is the Latin word for millstone and references their millstone-like shape! Also, though they're often characterised as being extremely slow, they can swim fast when hunting or chased by a predator, so fast as to leap out of water completely.

Best Christmas present for immortals:

Greenland shark

Pros: average life span of around 400 years, so will keep you company for longer than a normal pet

Does not require a lot of exercise, it is a slow moving animal perfect for a lazy immortal (it is also known as a sleeper shark afterall)

If you do take your greenland shark for a walk it is protected by its toxic skin, you will not have to fret about the safety of your beloved pet!

Cons: can weigh up to 1,400 kg and grow up to 7 metres long

Can live as deep as 7,200 ft in -7 Celcius temperatures in artic waters

Reminder: if you do purchase a Greenland shark for your immortal friend this holiday season please remember it is not just for Christmas but for life some of their life
