Witnesses say the marine creature did not mind being ridden by the fisherman

We're used to seeing videos of dolphins and whales interacting with humans. Every once in a while, videos showing daredevils swimming alongside great white sharks also make it online.

Still, it rarely happens that we get to watch a man ride a giant mola fish.

The video above was shot close to the Mexican coastline, sources say. The man featured in it is a fisherman.

Witnesses say that, as surprising as this may sound, the mola fish did not mind being ridden by a human as if it were a horse.

What's more, they claim that the man and the fish somehow formed a bond, and that the marine creature circled the boat several times once the ride was over, as if unwilling to say goodbye to his new friend.

I sincerely doubt that this was the case, and I'm quite convinced the fish did not exactly have the time of its life. It was just too polite and too balanced to protest the circumstances it found itself in.
