I remember the first time I ever saw a picture of an ocean sunfish on the cover of a Nat Geo magazine or something like that.

I was probably 8 years old and I distinctly remember thinking, why would they put a picture of a half-eaten fish on the cover of their magazine?

And I am clearly not the only one who can't comprehend what they're looking at.

I don't know what this is, but Jay says it's a f***ing big sea turtle.

Look, it's a baby f***ing wheel, man.

Holy s***, I'm witnessing a baby f***ing wheel right here, dude." This disembodied swimming head looks like the biggest joke played on Earth.

It's often seen just sort of flopping around at the surface.

And getting stuck at the surface seems inevitable for a fish that has no pelvic fins and a back fin that never grows, but instead folds in on itself forever.

And for a fish that looks basically immobile, it somehow gets absolutely enormous.

In fact, it's the heaviest bony fish in the entire world.
