Say Cheese! This Ocean Sunfish is the Ultimate Photobomber!
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this hilarious underwater snapshot captured by photographer Nick Hawkins, we witness a truly bizarre and extraordinary moment off the coast of Halifax, Nova Scotia. Meet the Ocean Sunfish (Mola mola), also known as the giant sunfish or moonfish – a creature that seems to have jumped straight out of a cartoon! With its peculiar shape and vibrant blue coloration, this oceanic oddball steals the show with its comical appearance. Its massive round body and unique fin structure make it stand out among other ray-finned fish in the Atlantic Ocean. But what makes this photo even more captivating is that our friendly sunfish seems to be posing for an impromptu photoshoot. As if aware of its photogenic charm, this Mola mola strikes a perfect portrait pose while gliding through temperate saltwater. Its mesmerizing eyes seem to twinkle with mischief as it effortlessly navigates through its marine habitat. But wait! Take a closer look at this amusing image, and you'll notice something extra special – a tiny passenger hitching a ride on our sunfish's back! Yes, folks, even underwater celebrities like our ocean sunfish aren't immune to having their own entourage. So next time you're diving in Canada's beautiful waters or simply daydreaming about aquatic adventures from your living room couch, remember that nature always has surprises in store for us – even when we least expect them.
