Manta ray is their actual name. so it'd make more sense if you said:

Answer 2

The life cycle of a manta (i think) goes something like this: A male and a female manta mate. A baby manta egg is "growing" (if u catch my meaning) inside the mother manta's belly. The egg hatches (still inside the mothers belly) The baby is born (it is rolled up like a tube so its wings are folded in) The baby's wings unfurl and the manta becomes "active" The manta is still a baby but in 4 months he/she will be an adult! Hope that helps!

Answer 3

Manta rays live for up to 40 to 50 years in the wild, and could live considerably longer. Since they do not stop growing for most of their lives, they can be as wide as 20 feet and weigh as much as 5,000 pounds.

In the wild, the Stingray (Dasyatidae) lives between 15 and 25 years.

Answer 5
