MANTA RAY: Agility

Looking like a giant bat, Manta Ray is the largest of the Rays. She prowls the surface of the seas, unlike other Rays. When She swims, Manta will leap out of the sea from time to time. Somersaulting and cartwheeling on the sea's surface, the Manta inspires awe.

Called by some "devilfish", Manta Ray will circle small boats, scaring people, but never hurting them. This graceful creature glides through the ocean eating plankton. Alone, Manta Ray sails through the seas. Manta Ray shows you how to navigate rough seas, but, remember, unlike the Manta Ray, you do not have to do it alone.

Ray Family: Grace

an eagle ray

Rays are peculiar looking creatures with flat bodies and strange eyes. What looks like blinking eyes on the Rays' bodies are spiracles, which serve to attract Fish among other things. The real eyes, on the back, never blink and are always looking up. Rays' tails are armed with one or more lethal points (spines).

Seen on sea bottoms, Rays often appear to be a part of the seabed. While Rays are hovering, They are looking for food. Finding what They seek, a Ray will suddenly sweep up from the bottom and glide through the darkening sea. Shaped like a kite with a tail, a Ray will flap his pectoral fins, while speeding toward the prey. Watching a Ray move is watching grace in motion.
