Media notes
A bird swimmimg close to two basking Ocean Sunfish (Mola mola), of which the dorsal fins are visible, then taking off (slow motion). Resting flocks of shearwaters are frequently associated with basking Ocean Sunfish, and it has been hypothesized that the birds could benefit the fish in parasite removal, a symbiotic cleaning association that has already been proved with albatrosses (Abe et al. 2012). Elevation: 0 m. Date added to IBC: November 10, 2017.
