A picture of an orange cat from above, on the right side of his neck a chunk of fur is missing, making him look like someone took a bite out of him.

Aren’t sun fish supposed to taste so bad they’d be left alone?
If I remember correctly, they taste fine it’s just that they’re like 90% bone and it’s all that flimsy garbage that turns into spikes in the predators mouth
You don't. :D
They are actually less boney than other boney fish and mostly have cartilaginous skeletal tissue. They aren't eaten much because they have thick, rubbery, mucusy skin (up to 2-3/4" thick), and then a thick, gelatinous layer that's 90% water. But sea lions do eat them. So do sharks and orcas.

@MohamedMoney@feddit.org, too.
Awesome, thanks for the clarification
I see, thanks
You should see my reply. They are not 90% bone. They barely have any bones at all.
