The Ocean Sunfish, referred as Moonfish in Wildlife Park 2, is a large bony fish. It is an adoptable animal in Wildlife Park 2 and Wildlife Park 3.
Description[]
The ocean sunfish, or Common Mola, is a relative of pufferfish and the largest-living bony fish. Adults can reach weights of 1000kg (2205lbs), although some individuals may weigh even more. The ocean sunfish has a distinctive laterally-flattened body with a comparatively short tail and large dorsal- and anal-fins, giving the sunfish a height greater than its length - an average sunfish reaches lengths of 1.8m (5.11ft) and heights of 2.5m (8.2ft) across its fins. The ocean sunfish gets its name due to its habit of sunbathing on the ocean's surface.
The ocean sunfish is native to tropical and temperate oceans across the world. It feeds on a variety of food including jellyfish, squid, smaller fish and sometimes eelgrass. Its teeth are fused into a beak-like structure and although generally slow-moving, sunfish can move quite rapidly to escape predators and are able to vertically leap out of water. Although generally solitary, ocean sunfish will allow other fish and seabirds to clean its skin from the many species of parasite that infect it.
