A whale researcher in British Columbia experienced an extraordinary encounter with a rare, enormous sunfish that appeared outside his home.
A whale researcher in British Columbia, Canada, last week experienced a"once-in-a-lifetime" encounter with a rare and enormous sunfish that he spotted from his home.
The hoodwinker sunfish was first identified as a species in 2017. They were subsequently believed to inhabit only subtropical and temperate waters in the Southern Hemisphere.In 2019, however, a hoodwinker sunfish washed ashore near Santa Barbara, marking the first documentation of the species in the Northern Hemisphere. that after spotting the sunfish, he waded out to spend several “surreal” minutes with a gentle giant that weighed perhaps 400 pounds, measuring 7 feet wide and 10 feet across.
The most prevalent sunfish in the Northern Hemisphere is the Mola mola, which can weigh more than 5,000 pounds. The sunfish encountered by Towers – it eventually swam away – was identified as a hoodwinker sunfish by Jackie Hindering of the Marine Education and Research Society in Port McNeill on Vancouver Island.
