The gill slits of the manta ray are visible on its ventral side. It respires like fish do, taking in water through its mouth and then letting it pass over its gills and then exit through the gill slits. Use the link to the Wikipedia article and check out the pictures. Or use the other link to a picture posted at Geocities showing a 5,000 pound creature taken from the ocean.
The cartilage inside a manta ray resembles a disk shape, with fine filaments radiating from a middle a bit like the spokes of a bike wheel. A ripple passes through it much like they do through other fish's fins.
What's most remarkable is the manta ray's skin is covered in very tough hard 'denticles'. They are hexagon or pentagon shaped, and raised, and feel very slightly sharp or rough to the touch. The turbulence they generate makes a kind of "slipperiness envelope" around the ray. Rays (and sharks too) can move forwards with less effort than if they were perfectly smooth!
Really big rays (and most of the enormous sharks today such as the whale shark) are plankton feeders. They don't need to catch and bite prey.
Mostly letting their weight pull them down, they fall with just a little flapping. Their big funnel-shaped mouths catch very tiny things up to shrimp size. Then they swim upwards slowly.
live under water and are exelent predetors
of course they do
Just about anything large enough to fit through the window.
It depends on the volcano.
They make the rock fly to space
They do not fly, they swim in water
Very tricky question with a few answers. First off, no they can't fly. If you were to drop one from a plane however, it would glide down before splatting or "fall with style" as Buzz Lightyear would put it. It can also be argued that they do in fact fly, just under water. Hope this helps! =0)
they can, but with much lower efficency than beta radiation as many of the high energetic gamma rays "fly through" the imaging plate without interaction
Most mammals can't fly, or breathe through water.
By preventing many hazards such as ultraviolet rays and meteors. As meteors fall through the atmosphere, it hits them with small droplets of water, as the meteors fly fast, the tiny droplets of water is hitting them-breaking them so they don't hit earth. The droplets of water are millionths of the size of a rain droplet. Even though they are small, they fly fastkeeps the temp at the right level and the right mixes of gases.
i think it helps it fly by moving through the air and water smoothly. answer by : Rishi Patel
In theory, no. Goldfish are aquatic animals meaning they live in the water. They cannot be out of water for long periods of time without dieing due to lack of water. With that said, Goldfish cannot fly through air. If you threw a goldfish in air itd might be considered "flying" but in reality its most likely to die. Goldfish do not have the natural ability and talent to fly through air. If you built a tank that can support water and fish in the air and fly it then they can fly using that device, as we fly using a helicopter,jet,plane, etc.
Yes, they can walk or sledge on land and can fly (swim) through water.
