A giant sunfish believed to be the world’s heaviest bony fish has been discovered in the Azores archipelago, Portugal, weighing a whopping 2,744 kilograms . Researchers said the animal was found dead, floating near Faial Island in the central North Atlantic in December.
The sex has not been determined. José Nuno Gomes-Pereira, lead author of the paper and postdoctoral researcher from the Atlantic Naturalist Association, told CNN Tuesday that it was saddening “to see the animal in this situation as it must have been a king of open ocean.” The “tremendously big” sunfish has been buried in the Natural Park of Faial Island, he added.
