Posted by FAM Networks | Giant tuna glides past oil rig camera in the Gulf of Mexico waters silently. 🐟🌊
An 18-foot tuna drifted past an oil rig camera in the Gulf of Mexico during a routine inspection. The massive fish appeared beside a steel pipe and looked larger than typical records. Viewers debate if it is a bluefin, yellowfin, or bigeye, with size estimates between 15 and 18 feet. The moment shows how much ocean life remains unseen and reminds us to protect these habitats.
