1, strong reproductive ability.
Molas are particularly fertile. An adult mola fish is three meters long, and it can lay about 300 million eggs at a time. This number is simply terrible, but from birth to adulthood, only dozens of molas can grow into adulthood. It can be said that their extinction is closely related to their ability to lay eggs. This cardinal number is too large. There is also a circle of thorns on the small mola fish, which is a bit like puffer fish, so it can also avoid some predation.
2. Mola's internal organs have certain toxicity.
Some scientists have done some tests on the internal organs of molas and found that their internal organs contain a lot of toxins, just like those of puffer fish. This is because the mola fish eats a kind of puffer fish and contains a lot of tetrodotoxin, so if you eat too much, the mola fish also contains a lot of this toxin. Therefore, many predators generally do not choose to eat this poisonous food.
3. Mola has a thick skin
Mola has no attack ability, swims slowly and has no ability to escape, but its skin is very thick, up to seven centimeters thick. This defense is very strong. Except for some large carnivores with long teeth, it is difficult for ordinary fish to bite through the skin of molas, but those large sharks and killer whales don't feed on molas, so molas are relatively safe.
It is for these reasons that the Mola is heavy, but it is still not extinct.
