Manta rays have thin, flat skin to reduce drag as they glide through the water, allowing for more efficient movement. This streamlined body shape, combined with their large wingspan, enables them to swim gracefully and conserve energy while filtering plankton and small fish from the water. Additionally, their skin is adapted to withstand the pressures of their marine environment, providing flexibility and aiding in their agility.
