The scale-tipping behemoth, known as a giant sunfish or bump-head sunfish (Mola alexandrini), was discovered as it floated lifelessly off the coast of Faial Island, in the Azores — a Portuguese group of islands in the North Atlantic Ocean.The humongous fish was around 12 feet (3.6 meters) tall and around 11 feet (3.5 m) long, and it weighed a hefty 6,049 pounds (2,744 kilograms), or approximately 3 tons (2.7 metric tons).[ATTACH=full]187103[/ATTACH]</blockquote>
