For Newbie sea divers, it will definitely run away when you encounter a sunfish or also known as the sun fish. Yes, of course, with a super jumbo size of more than 5 meters with a body weight of 2.25 tons plus a strange look, anyone will think the same way, it's better to run away than to be a snack.
Whereas sunfish, mola-mola the giant sea without a tail is not violent and dangerous like other sea predatory fish. He is not fond of eating humans at all, the main food is just jellyfish. Even so, mola-mola is known as a curious fish, the feeling of wanting to be high. Often approaching humans, especially Snorkeling and Diving. Do you know the difference between Snorkeling and Diving? Hehehe.

The one who is definitely a diver is the difference, but the difference is Snorkeling using only swimming goggles and a tube, a special breathing tube that can breathe air through the mouth. Usually this snorkerling is only for shallow diving. Whereas Diving swim in the depths of the sea by using complete equipment such as wetsuit and breathing using SCUBA oxygen tubes.
Okay, the explanation is enough from me who knows, hehehe. We go back to the topic Sunfish (Ocean Sunfish). There is an interesting thing about the incidentaneh.com about mola-mola which is not important, you have to know, because it's already been read, it's just been done.

Unique Facts of Sunfish, Mola Mola Fish or Sun Fish

1 . Sunbathing Hobbies

That mola-mola has a unique hobby is sunbathing to the surface of the sea, which is why it is called Sunfish. Almost every day he does a pacing to just sunbathe. You can also see his appearance in Indonesia, he very often raises himself to sunbathe on the beach of Penida, Bali.

2 . Strange Body Shape on Mola Mola Fish

In general, all types of fish always have caudal fins. Unlike mola-mola, he almost didn't have a tail fin. And usually the other fish fins (wings) are located on the side and right, while the fin mola mola is vertically above and below (back and abdomen) called calvus.
Due to the odd shape of the fins plus its round and fat body, the mola mole is very slow to swim and to fight the waves it cannot, choosing to surrender to the flow of water that carries it.

3 . Sunfish, Endangered Mola Mola Fish

Because of his peculiar body shape, making the mola mola threatened with extinction, he is often the victim of traffic accidents in sea waters such as being caught in a boat's propeller and often a victim of collisions from large ships speeding toward him. So slow his movements made him unable to avoid the speed of the ship.
Besides that, marine waste is also one of the causes of death. He often chokes due to swallowing plastic waste which he thinks is jellyfish. Not to mention he was stranded on the beach due to being dragged by the waves and died himself due to dehydration. But the highest cause of death is due to illegal hunting like those carried out by evil fishermen in Japan. They were deliberately arrested for sale of meat to restaurants.
Best friends of incidenceaneh.com, hopefully this "sea mole giant without a tail" is not extinct and only becomes a historical story. Fortunately in Indonesia, this mola mole is one of the protected animals, one example is done by the Balinese government precisely in Nusa Penida, the fish is only a tourist attraction and allowed to live freely in its habitat.
