Random facts.

Average adult weight is over 2,000 lbs, they mainly eat jellyfish, their conservation status has not been evaluated, they are born with their tail fin, and it never grows causing their odd shape, they can jump up to 10 feet out of water creating a large splash believed to help shake off skin parasites.

Here is a video.
