The Mola in the first video looks like a some science-fiction submarine.
What an encounter !

I remember writing a report, when I was in 2nd or 3rd grade, about sunfish. What I read said they could get up to 400 pounds. That's one big fish!

Just like the rest of us. I read in Scientific American that the organisms hosted in the human body outnumber our cells by a factor of 10 to one. Yay us.
