Manta ray, a giant of the ocean
Үй жануарлары мен аңдар
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.

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!

I had the amazing privilidge of swimming with the whale sharks and manta rays this week off Isla Mujeres, Mexico. There were dozens of them, totally unfazed by us. we were unser a strict "no Touch" rule
So majestic it's like watching a unicorn.😢
This guy has one of the most calming voices ever. Manta rays are my favorite animals ever and I watch this a lot when stress gets the better of me, never fails to calm me down.
Imagine being the first person seeing this just like “so you know those little ocean pancakes. Yeah! I saw one but it was giant”
So massive, yet not whales, and so elegant and graceful. Definitely my favorite sea creature. Even more than octopodes.

I'm just back from a sail to Lady Eliot Island in the Great Barrier Reef QLD which has 170 resident manta rays. I was dropped in the middle of an area that had many manta rays. As we were snorkelling my buddy and I were approached by 7 large manta rays. They swam past 4 times and the last time the boldest swam straight at us mouth open and deftly missed us by less than 1 metre returning to its course at the surface then swam off. We were hanging in the water as still as we could so as not to startle them and they startled us!! They were very inquisitive and bold in the way they swam up to us and kept returning to us.

I visited Hawaii with my family one time, and while my brother and I were snorkeling, a giant manta ray came close to us and started zooming around. It looked like it was flying through the water and almost showing off for us! It got so close that I could have touched it. It was kind of scary because of its size, but it was one of the most amazing things I've ever seen in my life.
