Well...according yo my calculations...The Crocodile hunter was a great example of a manta ray defending themselves...to find more information research it on the internet...
R.I.P Steve Irwin.
Geez people! THE MANTA RAY HAS NO STING!!!!!! it cant hurt anyone like that! i supose they defend themselves by jumping on top of them (they do jump outta the water, but noone really knows why). Steve Irwin was killed by some other STINGray (they are actually a different species, you know!)
Manta Rays protect themselves by jumping onto the predator or swimming at them with full speed and agility.
I've heard the term for a group of manta rays to be "A fever of manta rays"
The Manta Rays of Time was created in 2000.
MANTA RAYS ARE CARNIVORS.
no middle schoolers are cool and so are the manta rays
manta rays abiotic are rocks, dirt , the water
Manta rays are large, cartilaginous, salt water fish in the Elasmobranchii subclass which includes sharks and skates The manta ray is the largest of the rays. They can typically be found in and around coral reefs feeding on plankton and fish larvae. To learn more about manta rays, see the Related Links.
Yes, there is a species of smaller manta rays although i cant remember what they are called of the top of my head. Pygme or dwarf manta rays come into mind. I had a dive last year with some pygme manta rays last year in australia.
although mata rays have tails, they are NOT barbs, they are not poiseness nor electrical
Manta Rays are classified as Elasmobranchii, which is used to class other rays and sharks. The manta ray is a part of the eagle ray family of Myliobatidae.
because manta ray feeds on some of the smallest creatures in the oceans
Estimating the exact number of manta rays in the world is challenging due to their wide distribution and migratory behavior. However, both species of manta rays (the giant manta ray and the reef manta ray) are considered vulnerable, with populations in decline due to threats like overfishing and habitat loss. Conservation efforts are ongoing to better understand their numbers and protect their habitats. Studies suggest that more research is needed to obtain accurate population estimates globally.
