Less than 2mm when they hatch, sunfish can grow to more than three metres long, four metres tall and weigh over 2,000kg, which is roughly equivalent to a large hippo … they have the biggest growth increase of any animal. They increase in weight 600 million times.

I love simplicity and silence. I enjoy taking photos of birds, and strive to be an actively decent human being. In late August 2025 I moved from Waikawa Beach to Ruakākā near Whangārei in Aotearoa. 100% human (she / her). Now 70, I'm super happy to be getting old — it means I'm not dead yet! I believe all beings have the right to clean water, nutritious food and adequate shelter, and that humans are simply one small part of the amazing life on this planet that supports us all: humans, animals, plants.
