Clearly they are leaping out of the water in an attempt to take flight so they can get to their home planet.

Paraphrased quote from Chinese medicinal salesman: Interviewer: "So, does it really work?" Salesman: "Well, some people think that it works"

I think they like to jump out of the water simply for fun.

I’ve had the privilege of swimming with a manta ray along the coast of Western Australia. They’re just gorgeous. You wouldn’t believe how fast they move with just a couple flaps of their wings, so gentle and elegant. It’s one of the best memories I have.

Last mass extinction: giant asteroid ; next mass extinction: traditional Chinese medicine. Edit: this comment was not directed against Chinese people or any Asians, it's only against practicing traditional "medicine" that causes harm against endangered species.

Literally every animal that is awesome: exist Humans: I diagnose you with endangerment and poaching

Underwater shark bats are awesome. They're also really, really clever. There is at least one recorded instance of a Giant Manta seeking human help to remove a fish hook from its mouth.
