** Divers discover a huge sunfish **

VIDEO - Exploring the waters along the Portuguese island of Santa Maria, divers fell nose to nose with a fish moon of exceptional size.

A huge sunfish. This is the amazing encounter recently made by divers who explored the coastal waters of the island of Santa Maria (Portugal).

This discovery was filmed by divers, and posted on YouTube October 11, 2015.

"The fish moon did not seem bothered by our presence," said Miguel Pereira on the Youtube page of the video. "He followed us for 15 minutes."

Sunfish, the heaviest of all the bony fish known to date, is characterized by a mass which can easily exceed a ton. He played in most tropical and temperate waters of the world.

In a peaceful nature, the moon fish feed primarily on jellyfish.
