MUST CREDIT JODI FREDIANI / CATERS NEWS / PICTURE MEDIA NEWS.COM ONLY ** MANDATORY BYLINE ** - PIC BY JODI FREDIANI / CATERS NEWS - (PICTURED: mola mola under water with its dorsal fin cutting through the surface) - One of the worlds weirdest fish makes a rare appearance above the water in these incredible pictures. Photographer and environmentalist Jodi Frediani captured the bizarre-looking Mola Mola fish off the coast of California when it surfaced to snack on the Velella Velella a tiny sea creature similar to a jelly fish. But short of shying from the attention, the Mola Mola appeared to pucker up for the camera as it slurped down the Velella Velellas, also known as by-the-wind-sailors. The Mola Mola can grow up to 4 metres long and weigh more than 2000kg and are sometimes mistaken for sharks when their dorsal fin sticks up out of the water, it has not been seen in the Californian bay in over 8 years.
