Giant sunfish surfaces at Te Papa The last time Sunny saw the light of day he was being dissected. Now the 240kg sharp-tailed sunfish has taken his place in Te Papa's marine specimen collection. After six months preserved in a bath of formaldehyde, the fish was lifted from its crate today and joined Te Papa's huge library of marine specimens on Tory St. Collections managers Andrew Stewart and Tom Schultz were pleased to find Sunny was in good condition. ''It's absolutely beautifully preserved,'' Stewart said. Sunny washed ashore north of Auckland in May last year. Those who found him tried to get the rare ocean giant to float back out to sea but he died shortly afterwards. Source Link |
