One of the main characters in my personal fable, and the only one whom I can say that has human characteristics although her existence goes far beyond of the one of a mere human. Her appearance was inspired by the professional shark diver named Cristina Zenato.
Somehow, this confident girl, born in the distant reality of the year 6153, has a strong connection with the oceans and will become the guardian of the fate of the sharks, culturally influencing a shark civilization that will arise in the future.
But she has hydrophobia, influenced by her mother’s death in a so-called “shark attack”. Will she surrender to fear and deny the pleas of Kiyamet, the ancient shark deity that sleeps below Hawaii?

Mola mola munch munch! Target feeding with our two young ocean sunfish is a piece of cake. Both beasties have learned to hit their Mola marks to dine on tong-delivered delicacies!

Even though ocean sunfish have a brain the size of a walnut, they can be trained to recognize a visual dinner-bell (a “target” in the biz) to come over and be fed by hand.
The molas are fed a special blend of food inside a sausage casing, allowing us to study how fast these animals grow. Our daily tailgates with the molas prove that you can be bean-brained brainiac!
