It is an ocean sun fish or or Mola mola. It is pretty incredible!

Wow, great photo.

Sad that it died & washed up on shore though.

It`s freaky. Maybe it`s a relative of the diva from the 5th element. Does it sing ?:D

Afterall what happened to that fish? was it sun-dried and fried?

but that's pretty big. How I wished that he slept on top of that fish.
