Swimming next to a manta ray is a great privilege, because she is one of the giants of the ocean, the manta rays can measure eight meters and weigh 1400 kilograms, recently we learned that they are family of sharks.

We know very little about the manta ray, they are a mystery, because they can't live in an aquarium. The greatest danger to the manta ray is the fishing harpoon. But the manta rays are still a really mistery.

  • Yo, imagine the first person to see one of these while swimming. I’d cry
  • I wonder if species like crabs and shrimps think that they fly......
  • @cfhfhbg
    is it just me or do these rays literally look like flying jets or planes
  • 20+ years ago on Maui, I unconsciously swam into a "nest" of rays and got chased. Now I understand they were mating & that's why they "flew" out of the water. I almost died laughing from the event, swimming furiously and laughing! No offense meant, rays!

    Beautiful. Scary. Mysterious. Unbelievable. Perfect. There's something in my psyche that folds at the sight of the manta ray, but they live regardless of that. It's humbling.

  • Manta Rays are one of my favorite animals. They remind me like they are one of the most oldest animals known on earth, and ancestors of other animals while for some reason, still alive today. They're incredibly remarkable creatures. 😊
  • Oooooooooooh , let's name the zones, the zones, the zones. Let's name the zones of the open sea: mesopolagic, bathyal, abyssalpelagic. All the rest are too deep for you and me to see.
