    I like this fish, but it shouldn’t be here, even during the summer 🤔 This section of Darby Creek is full of Redbreast Sunfish and occasionally Bluegills, but not Green Sunfish. The water is unusually warm right now 🤔

  3. 💁🏻‍♀️ TIL: 🐋💥 Researchers in the Gulf of #California filmed orcas ramming dead #sunfish so hard the carcasses exploded.

    The high impact strategy breaks #food into smaller pieces for juveniles and may also serve as #play. The sunfish’s rudder like tail seems to make a convenient handle for the #orcas to hold while striking.

  8. The Pumpkinseed sunfish (Lepomis gibbosus) is one of the prettiest fish, fresh or saltwater, in the world. A brightly colored male guarding its nest is truly a magnificent sight. This photo, taken many years ago in my aquarium, only hints at its beauty. Sometimes we forget the beauty of the familiar and the common species of plants and animals. #fish #sunfish #wisconsinfish

  9. “The ocean #sunfish, or #Mola, is one of the strangest animals alive. A massive, flat, derpy giant that eats jellyfish, drifts aimlessly, and carries parasites that even have smaller parasites of their own. Somehow, this awkward creature that feels like evolution’s inside joke doesn’t just survive in the world’s oceans … it thrives.“

    This piece resembles a sunfish entangled in a pair of sunflowers; It's finished with an oil painting texture and done in an abstract style.

  17. I screwed up my morning fishing expedition, so I took a little time to do fishing during my afternoon hike. This guy took a rather large elk hair bug on the surface. I can't believe it was able to swallow the whole thing.

  18. The largest #cartilaginousfish is the #whaleshark, the largest/heaviest Actinopterygii is the sunfish. Due to the #phylogenetic situation in early #vertebrates, when using the general term "#fish", one should be aware that this is a #paraphyletic group.

  19. 🌊🐠 The massive mola mola, also known as a sunfish, holds the title of the world's largest bony fish! The heaviest recorded mola mola tipped the scales at an incredible 5,070 lbs (2,300 kg). 😲 These ocean giants can produce up to 300 million eggs at once—more than any other vertebrate—and they spawn multiple times throughout their lives. 🐟🌟

  23. I did return to the swamp last night. This was certainly not my largest catch, but it was the most interesting catch.

  24. Last night I went to check out Sweetwater Creek State Park. It is a little too far away to visit multiple times a week. I caught a couple of brilliant Red Breast Sunfish and a small Shoal Bass.

    Tonight, I went to a familiar swamp, and the fishing was hot. I caught 5 different kinds of sunfish and totally lost track of the number of fish. Caught all of them on a size 12 wet fly with my 4 weight rod.

  26. We went fishing with our friend last evening. It's been years but we're definitely going to go more often! We really missed it & I'm happy we all caught some fish 🎣

  28. The #hoodwinker. Species of our times.

    A #sunfish that is pretty elusive washed up on shore. Biologist raced to get to it for samples. I get that.

  30. Seaside Aquarium:

    "You’ve heard of an ocean sunfish, but have you heard of the hoodwinker sunfish? On June 3rd a 7.3-foot (221cm) hoodwinker sunfish washed ashore on Gearhart beach, just north of Seaside, Oregon. ...It wasn’t long before news of this fish reached Mariann Nyegaard, a researcher based in New Zealand. The photographs she saw indicated that this might not be a run of the mill ocean sunfish (Mola mola) but a different species that she was very familiar with, the hoodwinker sunfish (Mola tecta). "

  32. CW: AndroidOS

    Hab eben nach einer Woche #grapheneOS zurück auf #CalyxOS gewechselt.
    Mehr Sicherheit und weniger Google: ja gerne, aber bitte nicht, wenn mein System dadurch laggt und deutlich mehr Akku braucht. Zudem scheint mir Calyxos das Smartphone länger zu unterstützen

  33. A male Pumpkinseed is protecting its nest 😊
    Some Redbreast sunfish were bugging him 😐 
    This creek has several sunfish species, like Pumpkinseed (abundant), Bluegill (abundant), Redbreast sunfish (most abundant), Green sunfish (occasional), and some hybrids 😉

    I need to get better at filming these things – also, need to be very careful when wading 🤔

  34. Possibly my silliest Google search to date...or at least today: "Has anyone ever been squashed by a sunfish jumping on their boat?"

    According to Wikipedia, one person has.

  35. @danthebugman We got Pumpkinseed and Redbreast sunfish, they are very colorful, but Longear seems to be the winner 😆
