How o mola mola protect themselves?

Ocean sunfish, also known as mola mola, rely on their large size and thick skin as their main defense mechanisms against predators. They are capable of diving to depths where many predators cannot follow and also have the ability to swim quickly to evade danger. Additionally, mola mola have been observed engaging in behaviors such as basking near the surface or seeking out cleaner fish to rid themselves of parasites, which may help promote their overall health and survival.


How large do ocean sunfish get?

Depends on the specific kind of sunfish, but in the wild the average lifespan of most sunfish species is around 5-7 years. In captivity they will live longer, however, so they could be seen to live 10+ years in that situation.

The animal that lays the most eggs is the deep-sea squid known as the Berryteuthis magister. This species of squid can lay up to 30,000 eggs at a time, making it one of the animals that produces a lot of eggs but not 300 million.


Animal that has a lot of teeth on body?

The ocean sunfish (Mola mola) is an animal that has a large number of small, button-like teeth on its body, which are mainly located in its throat. These teeth are not used for chewing, but rather help the sunfish to catch and consume prey like jellyfish.


Are Ocean Sunfish Endangered?

Ocean Sunfish, also known as Mola mola, are not considered endangered. They are listed as "Vulnerable" on the IUCN Red List due to threats such as bycatch in fisheries and habitat loss, but their populations are relatively stable. Conservation efforts are in place to monitor and protect these unique species.
