Mola Errata List Jun 2026
Drawing the sunfish vertically, with its dorsal fin pointed straight up like a sail and its anal fin pointing straight down, making it look like a living kite. Why It Happens: Most museum skeletons mount the sunfish vertically because it saves space. Artists sketch the skeleton without observing a live fish. The Correction: While sunfish do swim vertically when basking or signaling, their resting swimming posture is lateral (side-to-side). More importantly, the dorsal and anal fins are symmetrical and undulate in unison. The Errata List emphasizes: The sunfish is not a sailboat. Its fins are paddles, not flags.
