Scientists are ecstatic about this 450-pound sunfish.
A massive sunfish was found Wednesday on a North Carolina beach and the carcass was so heavy that scientists required a horse scale to obtain its weight.
The sharptail mola, similar in appearance to the more common Mola mola , weighed 450 pounds and is being kept at the North Carolina Museum of Natural Sciences."Fishmas came early to the Natural Sciences Ichthyology Unit this year!" Hughes boasted."We are adding this beautiful 450 pound sharptail mola to our collection!"
The fish washed ashore at North Topsail Beach and, Hughes noted,"It has been pure chaos getting it to Raleigh, but we're so glad it's here!"
