many amazing harbors in its waters Oceans, but sunfish just amazing.Sea monster of enormous size, slow and clumsy, comes up from the depths like a fantastic monster, horror of his clumsiness, inevitable, as if destiny.The impression leaves a perfectly harmless fish, which has no swim bladder, no brain, nothing.She swims there, not knowing where to find it, not knowing that.
terrifying appearance moon-fish consists of the shape of its body resembles a huge millstone, two fins and some obscure rudiment, not even remotely resembling a fish tail.The name of the fish from the Latin and translated - "millstone".Almost round, flattened on the sides, a giant sunfish if hanging in the water, almost imperceptibly moving two fins located in the wrong place - at the top of the upper and the lower bottom.Sense from these devices no swimming, but the fish still moves in the water, but it moves the fins piecemeal and uncertainly.
Although she and hurry.Plankton that monster eats in any case fall into her mouth, though it will be in place, even to swim.Since water is still moving much faster than the fish-moon sooner or later overtake sluggish lazy and pour into her mouth portion of plankton.Sunfish photo, you see, has a diameter of 3 meters.A three-meter weighs this "damn" almost one and a half tons.If sunfish was fishing, it would be killed in two days, as she sticks her hips, still lying on the ocean surface.
But God keeps the monster of the deep sea, fish-moon not only fishing, but even if the whole world does not remain a crust of bread, and there is nothing, it is still in its meat nobody touches, so it's disgusting, very unpleasantsmell.But this creature has one indisputable advantage - his skin.The shell fish moon is very solid and impenetrable.Even sharks break teeth, trying to bite her.So much for the skin.If shark fins gets to fish the moon, it will bite them without difficulty, and then to end it.Immobility, she sank to the bottom and die there.
About Intelligence described the ocean monster, however.Scientists oceanographers once weighed the brains of fish-moon and accurate scale showed 4 grams.Because sunfish has entered the Guinness Book of Records (1909) as the biggest, etc., it is possible and her brain the size of a pea, placed in the same book.Although, as they say, a blessing in disguise.Whether sunfish smarter, it is not clear what it would be silly bells and whistles in the oceans.So it is better that everything remains as it is.Caesar - Caesar.
Also remarkable heavy-duty skin, the moon-fish there is one indisputable advantage - it is extremely fruitful.During spawning sunfish lays a fantastic number of eggs, such a figure is not even in every Russian bank will see about 300 million potential fish embryos.It is terrible to imagine, if born at least half of the planned fry.But the eggs disappear somewhere, somewhere - is unknown.
