typhlonectes:The colorful Opah, or Moonfish, can reach 2 m (7 ft.) in length and weigh up to 270 kg (600 lbs). It lives throughout the world’s oceans at depths of 100 to 400 m (330 to 1,300 ft), where it hunts squid. It’s also the first fish known to warm its entire body, including the heart. How? Heat that’s generated with its swim muscles is retained thanks a system of blood vessels that minimizes heat loss via the gills and an insulating layer of fat, allowing the opah to distribute warm blood throughout its body—and giving this fish an edge when it travels through colder, deeper waters.Photograph: Ralph Pace (NOAA Fisheries) via: American Museum of Natural HistoryIs this the one that evolves into a Alomomola? -- source link
