Another unusual sea creature spotted in Puget Sound

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Some very unusual sea creatures have been spotted visiting the waters of Puget Sound including an ocean sunfish, called a Mola Mola.

Mola Molas can grow to 11 feet long, weigh more than a ton, and they eat jellyfish.

Jonah Zimmerman got a shot of the big fish swimming near his boat not far from Tacoma.

These fish are rarely seen in our waters because they are warm-water fish but researchers at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration said a marine heat wave has been warming up West Coast waters enough that new species are following the things they eat all the way here.

3. I didn't realize they got that big.

I would...

That's why I don't go in deep water anymore. Seeing something like that would freak me the hell out and give me nightmares forever.

5. It's not as big as it looks in the picture

The diver at the top is farther away it looks, making the fish look about 30% larger. Still a big fish, tho'!
