An ocean sunfish, a little over 3m in length and weighing more than a tonne is lazing in the sun at the surface. It does not seem to be aware that a boat is drawing near it. There is a loud bang and a bullet strikes the fish. Then another bullet whizzes past it. The sunfish makes grunting noises but makes no effort to get away. Two more bullets hit it before the boat recedes into the distance. The huge fish, however, is none the worse for the encounter. Nature has provided it with a bullet proof vest in the form of a thick layer of gristle under its skin. Even a sharp harpoon forcefully thrown cannot penetrate its thick hide.
