Rare Giant Sunfish Resembles Inflated Coin found on West Coast Beach, Experts Reveal True Identity: Typically Active in Southern Hemisphere

Reported about 1 year ago

A rare Mola tecta sunfish was spotted on Gearhart Beach in Oregon, attracting crowds of curious onlookers. Experts noted that this type of fish is usually found in the temperate waters of the southern hemisphere, making its presence in high latitude areas extremely unusual. Identified as a Mola tecta, this massive sunfish has been confirmed as one of the largest ever discovered, with researchers believing that its genetic sample differs from the common ocean sunfish. The sunfish was first identified as a new species in 2017, and despite its tough skin, its natural decomposition on the beach could take several more days. Additional reports from TVBS include a Kia recall due to potential fire risk in front row electric seats, Kate Middleton missing the Royal Army parade due to chemotherapy, an Irish Guards promise to reinstate a discharged soldier, a submarine collision between delivery vessels, the sinking of a $2 billion cocaine shipment by US and Dutch coast guards, and a surge of the deadly Japanese fungus causing infections.
