“The 2.1 meter ocean sunfish, or "mola", was found alive off the shore of Ras Abu Galoum in Egypt's South Sinai. We have been racing against time for three days to save it, after it had been injured by another sea creature,” the ministry said. The statement added that the injury had prevented the mola from swimming normally, until it was pushed to the shores of Ras Abu Galoum. The rescue team transferred the fish using a net in shallow waters off the Gulf of Aqaba to keep it alive. Mola, which feed on jellyfish and small fish, are found in tropical oceans around the world.
