9.) Ocean Sunfish

This is the second part of a 10 day 10 part series of blogposts, the most fucked up animals in the world. For a full list of all the entries (once they're completed) click HERE.

Generally when one thinks of as sunfish one thinks of say, a gentle Koi pond. A lone Samurai walks up and down the length of his path, lost in musings of past battles. Perhaps of loves long lost, long forgoten; of his own sacrifices and those of his ancestors. One would seldomly think of a massive 3-ton 9 foot sea cow.



The skin of the Ocean Sunfish is considered a delicacy by some, and like all people stupid enough to eat a delicacy, they're eating poison.

Nobleman: "Mmm, dear I do say, these neurotoxins are quite delicious."

Noblewoman: "Verily"

Speaking of food the Ocean Sunfish eats Jellyfish, Comb Jellies, Zooplankton, Squid and Crustaceans - because they don't have a Fudruckers under water. They are solitary animals that generally like to be left alone so they can listen to their Morrissey mixtape that their ex-boyfriends made them. They must remain alone because you don't understand them; nobody does.

They also has anal fins. It's sad that an animal with fins on their anus doesn't rank higher than #9, but that's how it goes. But buck up old buddy, you danced yourself into #9.
