Mola mola, your name must be Giles,
but I bet you can’t say it, even less with a smile.
When you say your name, it must sound like Thilthes,
as you while away your days in the sea, Mola mola.

Mola mola is the Latin name for this fish, known at the ocean Sunfish. There’s a great video and more information in the article linked below, and I quote:
“A video captured by divers off the coast of Portugal shows a rare up-close encounter with a massive Mola Mola, which dwarfs the humans that swim alongside as it moves slowly in for a selfie.
For a fish that appears to have just half a body, Mola Mola can grow to enormous dimensions.
These unusually shaped creatures, also known as ocean sunfish, are the heaviest bony fish in the world, and can weigh nearly 5,000 pounds.”

Question – how many grams in a pound? Do you know?
