Ocean sunfish It looks like a prehistoric shark on a bad day, weighs more than a car, grunts and might be the world’s weirdest fish – I mean, it can lay up to 300,000,000 eggs at one time – but what you really want to know is why it’s called a sunfish, right? That’s because the ocean sunfish spends half its say sunbathing near the surface of the water to get warm after hunting in deep water. Oh, and they were an acceptable form of tax payment by Shoguns in 17th century Japan. A weird fish indeed.
