Mola Mola Monday... Molas are massive and adorable. In German, they are called Schwimmender Kopf (“Swimming Head”). In English, they are also called Sunfish, because they bask at the surface and let bird buddies eat all the yummy parasites off their skin—which is six inches thick, and helps protect them from deadly boat strikes! . They are the heaviest known bony fish in the world; they grow to be about 6ft x 8ft, and the females can produce more eggs than any other Vertebrate—300 million! . I saw this eraser at the @marinemammalcare giftshop and of course I had to have it. . . #mola #molamola #molamonday #molamadness #Tetraodontiforme #swimminghead #bigfish #doodle #sketch #drawing #postit #illustration (at Ralph Emerson Elementary)
