I love sun fishes. As a surfer I am glad they eat jellyfish.

Wow, i didn't knew you called them sun fish, they are called moon fish in Spanish
Lol. Sea lions are mean as hell😂
And they blame the great whites/orcas instead smh
Orcas still up top
@@frostycyan and 'em sea lions get bullied by orcas too-- just the same
@@anwardiggs8748 I'm not gonna judge you, but as an intelectual, I think you can differentiate between "Oh, look! There's a slow moving fish (also penguins), let's bully it to death!" and "I'm gonna teach my offsprings on how to teach to hunt and catch a smart, mobile, and agile prey. It's cruel, I know, but at least I let some of them go when we are satisfied with our meal."
@@frostycyan I get ya on that one, but sometimes they don't even eat the sea lion, they just play (from what I heard) lol
honestly so surprised there’s like barely any animal crossing comments
They'll come once we can catch it this summer lol
I thought there were going to be a lot of comments about that.
We are currently on the oarfish video
theres one right below this
It was my pride on city folk. I still think about him these days... My biggest fish boi...
They look like they're constantly thinking "just kill me dude"
They eat jellyfish, so yeah they're suicidal
When you think you're going to fish up a cool shark in animal crossing and this boi appears instead..
I have been looking for this comment

This boi is cute too though 🥺
Well I was looking for this fishy boi instead of a shark ok 😤

Like me
If your primary food was jellyfish, with stinging tentacles, you'd be immune to pain too.
ya lol
Turtles eat jelly fish and they still feel pain. I don't get it. Sunfish feel pain but in their own way. Scientists aren't going to know everything
Existence is pain.
Mola: “ Hold my fins.”
Sea lion: "nah I rather take them."
also Mola: starts sinking
@@ringss_ Blob Blob
LIFE IS PAIN! Anyone who says otherwise is a Mola Mola.
In German they're called 'Mondfisch' which literally translates into 'moonfish'. It confused me a lot when I found out it's called a sunfish in English :D
In German a lot of things are the other way around, no? Like in Dutch we call a lake "een meer" and the sea "de zee" but in German you call lake "der See" and sea "das Meer". Very confusing tbh
Same thing happens in Spanish, it's called "Pez Luna", which also means "moon fish".
And upon further inspection, it's name also means "moon fish" in Dutch, Portuguese, French, Catalan, Italian, Russian, and Greek.
So this time English is apparently the one that got it backwards compared to most European languages.
English always gotta be different smh...
In Italian it's "Pesce luna", which still means "Moon fish"
In Norwegian, it's also called moonfish.."månefisk"
God, I love this fish.... so ridiculous, so thin yet so huge, why god oh why is it so... vertical... the hilarity of it.... i just can't.... and now i just knew that it has little pain receptors... and it's so... slow. The seal is just taking a bite and playing around and my man here just like "Yup, fml, this happens, oh there goes a chunk of my flesh. Ok now I'm drowning..." and my dude is gonna be flipping his thin flat vertical fins to swim and his shortass stubby flat brush tail so desperately but it aint moving and be like "This is fine." I'm CACKLING, I love sunfish more now

Y'all ever caught one of these Mfs in animal crossing to your disappointment cuz you thought it was a shark?

@@echoorionjoy5138 holy shit same
The first thing I thought when I found this is "oh it's the animal crossing fish!"
Alternatively appropriate title : "The Mola Mola is the THICCEST fish in the world".
Luigi Gaskell better

Hehe.. You guys are so funny 😂🙈
Found the kids section
The fact that it’s German name translates into Moonfish and it’s English name being sunfish really makes me uncomfortable.
The spanish name translates as moonfish too
Same in french
Same in bulgarian
The fact that someone thinks some bit of it's body is a delicacy makes me feel tired.
In Russian it s moonfish too
People call them stupid, but the fact that they know to go lay at the surface of the ocean to let sea birds eat the parasites off of them shows a remarkable amount of intelligence. I have a huge soft spot for these guys, I’m not sure why but hey ❤️
I know this is an old comment but if anyone comes across this wondering, it’s not on purpose. They just don’t have a swim bladder and get stuck sideways on the surface
"Whats my purpose?"
"You are the punching bag of the ocean"
"oh. Ok."
"Also your brain is the size of the Walnut and you have little to no pain receptors"
"Oh. Ok. Whats my purpose then?"
Maybe you just realise that every creatures on earth exists just by accident, and evolution and nobody has any purpose
@@Liza33650 ok and?
Alien what?
@Dead Mitt If the purpose of an organism is to mantain the ecosystem then what is the purpose of the ecosystem, what is the purpose of life itself? No, nothing, life has no purpose. It just a product of the natural world, just like rocks, clouds, stars and planet.
Their purpose is to chill 😎
it literally looks like something i'd draw if i was drunk and/or high
I wouldn't need to be drunk or high to draw something like this. It's on the same level as my high school doodles
When God created them, He was probably in a similar state XD
Hmm your channel is really about drawing hahaha!
That means your a really good artist, I draw like a 12 year old, cuz I am a 12 year old.
It looks like what a four-year-old would draw if you told them to draw a fish, by tracing round their hand.
Do the Nautilus please. It's hard to find a video explaining about the Nautilus because they are overshadowed by other cephalopods.
OH MY GOD YES

Wow the Alomamol- I mean Mola Mola is a really cool Stunfisk- I mean Sunfish.
Gen 5 fans rise up
It bothers me that gamefreak decided to debut a molamola fish in a usa-based region. They should've debuted alomomola in alola since the climate there would be warmer
Bruh I’ve actually been calling these Alomamola until I saw this comment. I forgot it’s just a Pokémon lmao
@@sotrue4436 ...Hawaii is the US too, i get what you mean but technically it kinda works.
Alomommomomoqjbsla is so annoying to battle against
It's mind-boggling how this fish and the sloth have survived evolution.
You could probably kill this thing with a fork..
Could: Yes
Should: No
It's like their born to die, they're so passive and massive
@@Fwootgummi they are probably just their to be easy prey and regulate the jelly fish population
The mola mola has millions of babies, and the sloth stays safe in the tree most of the time, so they are both able to survive
the sunfish is proof nature plays favourites because how else have they survived?? they’re only alive because nature feels bad for doing them dirty and is keeping them around as pinnace for its crimes
Mola Molas are like giant rice cakes floating in the ocean.
Tasty, tasty rice cakes.
Yes yes it is.
Rice cakes wrapped up in rubber, yuck
I've eaten Mola Mola, it's one of the most delicious fish I've ever had.
Devonzell Pernell they do look like donuts.

They’ve evolved to give birth to literal hundreds of millions of eggs at a time. They’re goofy and stupid but I think they’ll be ok

SALVE SALVE
I remember the old Mola Mola in the Lisbon aquarium, it was huge!!! (I was also a small 5 year old kid) In Portugal they are called Peixe Lua, that also translate to moon fish (the same happens in German)
cool
So that's what Alomomola is based off of ._.
Now now, get it right. "This is 'a mola mola'" is what she said at the beginning; the Pokemon is "Alomomola." They made it a palindrome. :)
@@breloom8448 stunfisk is a flounder :/
Flounders are round-ish, they have A TAIL, and have both eyes at the side (or the front, however you want to call it), both of these features the Mola Mola lacks.
yeah
I need a rug that looks like one of these.
Ah, so THIS is what Alomamola is based off of! Never knew lol
It seems crazy to imagine an animal that grows from the size of a pinhead to the size of a car in a lifetime, but then you remember there's an animal the size of a pin, who's skeleton you can see from space

blasted CZcams! It never told me there were new videos! :(
yeah baby!

Arley Grear
CZcams NEVER told me about their uploads. So glad it did this time. I’m putting a bell on this channel.
They're in FFXIV too, as multiple varieties of sunfish. Though they're currently most widely recognised by ocean fishers as Momora Moras. They often replace the more rare, valuable catches, pretty much the same as how they appear in Animal Crossing. Many a fisher has sighed and many more have made puns upon catching one.
I've seen one LIVE!
When I was deep diving in Egypt years ago :D
It was the size of half a car, I'll never forget that encounter
Animal: exists
Asia: you are now a superfood, delicacy, and traditional medicine
Fun fact: the Italian name of this beast is "Pesce luna" That means "Moon fish".
Pesce=fish
Luna=Moon
LaSigna 02 Okay, I get sunfish, because they sun bath. But why moon fish?
Because they are almost round, white and float at the surface
In the Netherlands we call it maanvis
Maan = Moon
Vis = fish
@@TheScorpion0081 t's called "φεγγρόψαρο" in Greek which translates to moonfish too. One version of why it took thsi name is because fishermen say that they come to water surface when there is a fullmoon and dance with the moonlight on the surface.
In Sweden we call them klumpfisk. Klump = blob, fisk = fish :)
The animal crossing villagers casually lug these beasts in their pockets.
I keep getting recommended rare animal crossing fish videos, I just watched one about oarfish yesterday
I just watched that
Can't believe they made sunfish from AC into a real thing
Me: halfmoon fish, sunfish what else? Starfish?
Also me: oh... that exists.
These are my favorite video's on animal facts, Your drawings are awesome!
Two things that came to my mind after seeing this:
1. Survive! Mola Mola!
2. The battle cats
Why did nature create these?
Like isn't being eaten alive and not even knowing kinda counterproductive?
Oh, I’m sure they’re aware they’re being eaten… right? I mean, you’d have to know.
It's so cute that mola mola are called sunfish and share a symbiotic relationship with half-moon fish!!!!!!
Think you can make a video on Tardigrades? I'd like too see your drawing of one.
Perhaps....
I just googled that because I had no idea what it was and it's the only animal that has ever actually terrified me. I was too scared to even look at any information on it.
Lilith Song tardigrades are so cute and harmless. Look up planaria they can split into 2 and regrow
Lilith Song Good news: they’re one of the tiniest organism on the planet, so you’ll never encounter one. Bad news: they’re practically indestructible and can survive extreme temps, nuclear fallout, and pretty much everything that would wipe out all other terrestrial life.
Luke Wilson actually you are wrong. Tardigrades are found worldwide. Just that we can't see them. Also tardigrades die from predation lol.
“They are almost immune to predators! Except for every major predator”
They only named like 1% of apex predators
Got to see one sunning about two miles offshore of Jacksonville Beach in the early 2000's. It was huge!
We were out trolling for tuna and came upon one of these sunning on its side. I've never seen people move so fast to get the lines out of the water. Did NOT want to accidentally hook one of these. It was the size of a Volkswagen.
fun fact: in english it is called "sunfish" while in german it is called "Mondfisch" ("moonfish").
In portuguese is called peixe lua, moonfish
Mola Molas in real life: 😁
Mola Molas in ffxiv: 🗿
Their skeletons are probably one of the coolest skeletons I have ever seen. Like little airships.

@@j-sant-animations8105 MV Goliath: [concerned noises]
When I was stationed in Monterey, CA, i had gone down to the rocks along the shore. I spotted a small mola mola inside the breaker line and unable to get back out to sea. I waded out and got hold of it. it was, as the video shows, completely unresistant and just small enough for me to get an awkward grip on it. I tried tossing it out beyond the breakers but didn't quite make it. I finally had to swim out with it and turn it loose. With as many sea lions as there were in the area, I was pretty sure he wouldn't last long, but at least I tried. Mola molas had fascinated me since visits to the Marineland aquarium when I was a kid, and it was a thrill to get close to one, even though he was only about 5 or six feet from fin tip to fin tip.
I had always wanted to see one in real life, and once I had at the Monterey Bay Aquarium, it was truly magical. They are so graceful and have such an incredible way of transportation.
Sunfish and moonfish are majestic creatures. I’ve seen them around 400kg and are amazing to watch.
I’d like to see a video on hairtail.
The only thing I know about those animals is that their German name means "moon fish", because of their habit to float horizontally on the surface, which look like the reflection of the moon due to their size. Great videos you have there! They're short and very informative. And the drawn artworks are great. I can't take my eyes off this time-laps!!
It is called sunfish because English sailors thought they were sunbathing when they did that.
i thought she said "Alomamola" lol
btw thats thr pink fish pokemon...
Luvdisc

Fun fact: In German this fish is actually called Mond Fisch, wich means Moon fish.

Mola Mola: “ who you callin pinhead ?”
Everything is a delicacy in Asia. You probably find a place in Asia where a decaying worm is delicacy.
Flow Em They'll eat just about anything.
Live octopus is also a delicacy. Desperate measures I guess.
One man's delicacy is another man's horror. We don't eat foie gras or truffles in Asia, but we don't hold that against you.
Not to barge in, but pretty sure we do
wmg111 Truffles are mushrooms and foie gras is duck liver idiot. Yes, Asia very much eats those.
This is one of my favorite animals and I think if I ever saw one in person I'd cry
This fish is the embodiment of the "It's fine" dog in the burning house...
You mean the This is Fine. one.
They look like someone chopped their back end off, poor dears...

I love Danielle and I’ll watch every single video she does because she’s ROCKS IT!!! Every video is so well done!!
Hello, my name is Patricia and I am on my husband's site to write to you. I love Mola Mola. I never knew about this fish until I saw one at the Monterey Aquarium. Thank you so very much for your informative video. I do have two Mola Mola's on my bed... they are plush toys I got from the Monterey Aquarium. Again thank you for shedding light on this fabulous fish.

Atleast you wont feel pain when you're being murdered
You should do an episode on the secretary bird! Also I've gone in search of the Mola Mola but, haven't found one at sea yet :-(
They're EXTREMELY rare. I've seen most semi-exotic fish (excluding deep sea fish) but has yet to "sea" a Mola Mola and I dive and snorkel many times a month
Simon i go a few times during the summer, I'm still hopeful. It's in my bucket list also the giant manta Ray's and whale sharks.
I have bumped into them quite a few times in Cape Cod. They hang out a few miles off Chatham in the summer. At least the times I have seen them
"This is a Mola Mola"
My Mind: "Alomomola?"
People who play pokemon will get this :>
Yeah dat pink Mola mola with love shape 😂
I saw one of these things diving off of Andros, Bahamas. It tried to kill me and we fought. One of us died. Love your show! Kisses -- Mola Mola.
How about the endangered Kakapo
I've known about Mola Molas before Amolamola existed.
if you're referring to the Pokémon I think you spelled its name wrong I think its spelled Alomamola but I am not sure.
Arnold Shortman you are correct
Alomomola
They look so silly flapping their fins. I love it.
