Manta Rays are graceful swimmers, they live close to shore and in open seas. Mantra Rays are harmless to people and are solitary creatures. They have no teeth; they sieve their food. Females give birth to one or two pups weighing about 45 pounds each. At full maturity, can weigh as much as 3000 pounds.

The facts collected to describe each fish were pulled from various sources over the internet by Sealight Gallery's staff. Sealight wants to acknowledge that we did not write any of the material in regard to the descriptions, but we found the information collected fascinating. We hope that in reprinting it readers will be inspired by it to save and preserve the ocean and all of her glory. |
