The majestic Molidae, commonly known as the ocean sunfish (Mola mola), can be found in various locations across the globe. In July, off Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada, one can witness the awe-inspiring sight of these enormous creatures gracefully gliding through the water. Their massive size and unique shape make them a captivating sight for both locals and tourists alike. In Tenerife, Canary Islands, another encounter with the ocean sunfish awaits. Here they can often accompanied by Pilot fish (Naucrates sp), creating a mesmerizing display of marine life. The contrast between their sizes is truly remarkable. On a sunny day in Penzance, Cornwall, England, a sunfish basks at the surface of the water. Its large dorsal fin glistens under the warm rays of sunlight while it enjoys its peaceful summer day. These moments offer an opportunity to appreciate their tranquil existence amidst nature's beauty. Not all encounters with it can alive and vibrant though; sometimes we come across deceased individuals washed up on beaches like Eccles-on-sea in Norfolk, England during December. Despite their unfortunate fate, even in death they serve as a reminder of their presence and significance within our oceans. Venturing further into exotic destinations such as Batu Abah in Nusa Penida Bali or Lesser Sunda Islands Indonesia reveals more enchanting scenes involving these magnificent creatures. Swimming near divers or feeding alongside butterflyfish on ectoparasites from their skin showcases not only their immense size but also highlights how they interact with other species underwater. The Molidae family holds an undeniable allure that captivates those fortunate enough to witness them firsthand. Whether swimming peacefully off Canadian shores or engaging in symbiotic relationships halfway around the world in Indonesian waters – each sighting leaves us humbled by nature's wonders and reminds us of our responsibility to protect these incredible creatures for future generations to admire and cherish.
