Hi All,
Very interesting to be sure.
Now when we see one, as we often do, it will be challenging to be sure it is a
Mola Mola, as vs this Mola Tecta, especially when they are vertical in the
water.
We may need to get more specific info, but still it will be interesting to
tell. Most likely it will be a Mola Mola as this one was, to the best of our
current knowledge, way out of its territory.
OR, have they been here for some time, and we just did not know the
distinction?
We are still learning about our beloved oceans.
