The Full Story
Manta rays are among the largest rays in the ocean and are known for graceful swimming and broad pectoral fins. They belong to the genus Mobula, and the giant oceanic manta ray can have a wingspan of several meters. Unlike stingrays, manta rays do not have a venomous tail barb. They feed by filtering tiny organisms such as plankton from seawater, often near reefs and productive offshore waters.
