Manta rays lack a functional sting, sharp teeth, or other appendages with which to inflict injury. They are large, and may reach up to 7m across and weigh 1.5 T. However they are extremely graceful and manoeuvrable in the water, and the likelihood of a collision is very rare. By interacting with the manta responsibly, the chance of injury is minimal. See my profile for a link to more info.

How does a Manta ray catch its food?
Manta rays are filter feeders and bottom feeders. They will strain fish larvae, plankton, and mollusks from water passing through their mouth and out of their gills. Individuals will sometimes perform barrel rolls for hours on end. In the Maldives (islands), hundreds of mantas will congregate and make a feeding vortex, known as cyclone feeding. They swim around in a circle in tight formation, literally casuing a cyclone in the water. This concentrates the plankton that they are feeding upon.
