Have you seen the world's largest bony fish? Sunfish aka "Mola Mola"

 
Sunfish is the largest bony fish in the world as listed in the Guiness Book of Records.
 
The fish has the record due to its unsually HUGE body structure and size.  The length of its body averages between three to five meters long!  This gorgeous giant sunfish was on the Atlantic coast of the USA, it was three meters long and weighs over 1.5 tons!
 
Another giant Sunfish was caught in 1908 near Sydney. The length of 4.26 meter and weight 2, 235kg.  Sunfish Mola Mola has a totally different look from other fishes. It body flattened to form an elongated drive a little, short tail and the finds are connected to each other.  The skin is thick and lumping.  During spawning season, Mola Mola lay eggs up to 300 million at a time!  Sunfish is considered as a delicacy in some part of the world like Taiwan, Indonesia and Japan.

The Types Of Facial Hair You Should Avoid

Forehead 'Stache

This is a mugshot, which is very appropriate for this crime against good taste.

Monkey Tail Beard

 The first thing I think when I see this monstrosity is I hope the doctors don't give him the protective apron when he gets x-rays. I want that sperm's power annihilated by radiation. The second thing I think is anus mouth. No one wants to kiss anus mouth. I hope.

Porn 'Stache

 Your mustache makes you look like you wanna get with jailbait or a woman who works under the name Cherry Poppins. If you see this 'stache on a dude, hide yo kids and yo wife.

Asymmetrical Beard

 Congratulations, a-hole! You look like your friends punked you when you passed out after drinking too much Pabst Blue Ribbon.

Soul Patch

 Every time I see a one of these I think of some sensitive a-hole playing Hey, Soul Sister on an acoustic guitar. That's bad. Then I think of committing a felony against him with his own instrument.
That part is good.

Dreadlock Beard

 This beard probably smells of patchouli and is bound together with seitan. Yuck. It also reminds me that I really need to brush my cat's hair more. Before she gets nasty-a** cat dreads.

Overly-Manicured

 This guy thinks he looks FINE. If he wasn't a wannabe gang-banger, I'd really set him straight.

Really, REALLY Overly-Manicured

 OH THE HUMANITY! It's like a boy band and tribal tattoo had a baby
that I really wanna punch in the face.

Amish Beard (When You're Not Amish)

 This goes for Abe Lincoln beards when you're not Abe Lincoln as well. If you use electricity and haven't emancipated the slaves, STOP IT!

Peach Fuzz

 If you're a girl or a boy or a Bieber...get rid of the lip fuzz. It makes us question your gender.
