Mola mola
This unusually shaped fish is the heaviest bony fish in the world. Despite its size, it is very docile. Although it eats mostly jellyfish, it will eat other sea creatures. This large fish is prone to parasites, and will float on its side on the ocean surface and let sea birds clean its skin.
Temperate waters of every ocean.
