You will be enchanted by the registration of this giant sunfish! [video]

Nature is wonderful, and we know it. But the reason for emphasizing this once again is the incredible recorded record of a giant sunfish in the waters off the coast of Portugal. We have already shown the sunfish here at Mega on a few occasions, such as the one found in Indonesia over 1.5 tonnes and the first specimen of warm blood caught in the United States.

This species can reach almost 3 meters in length and exceed 2 tons. Even though it is larger than humans, it is not a danger because it is extremely friendly and only feeds on zooplankton such as jellyfish, Portuguese caravels, squid and sponges, and small fish. It can be found both on the surface, as was the case with this record, and in the depths, where it feeds on animals that are in the seabed.

The video was made on Santa Maria Island last September by photographer Miguel Pereira. In the description, there is a testimonial from Pereira, who says that he had lost his professional camera a few days earlier, but that, along with his team of divers, was blessed to find this amazing animal standing practically on the surface of the ocean. “The sunfish did not seem to be bothered by our presence and ended up following us for 15 minutes, ” says the publication.

The recording was posted on ViralHog's YouTube channel and reached over 3.2 million views. Watch the video at the top of the story and marvel at the beautiful swim of the giant sunfish alongside the divers.
