Manta rays were once called devil fish by sailors who saw large "horns" extending forward from their heads. These horns turned out to be ingenuous scoopers which, when unfurled, guide plankton into the manta's mouth. Manta wingspans can reach up to 20 feet, and they glide though the water like birds. Both gentle and graceful, they have become a favorite attraction for divers. Their range is circumtropical, with sightings in the Atlantic from as far north as New England and south to Brazil. Mantas prefer plankton-rich waters and are regular visitors to a few select locations. In the winter, mantas visit San Benedicto Island, south of Cabo San Lucas, Mexico. Here, they glide past a pinnacle called The Boiler hoping to take advantage of the resident cleaner fish. Mantas also hang out in Yap, Micronesia at Manta Ridge, another cleaning station. From March through July, mantas visit the island of Tobago, feeding in the rich waters fed by the Orinoco estuary in South America. On Hawaii's Kona Coast, mantas are drawn each evening to the lights of a large hotel. Night divers watch as the mantas feed on the plankton that is attracted by the lights.
Depending on the breed of a stingray, adults can vary from the size of a palm to having a body of six feet in diameter, with a tail length of fourteen feet. Adolescent stingrays will change in size as they grow older starting from hatching as an embryo of the size of your thumbnail. They are held in their mother's womb until they are mature enough to survive on their own.
Do the group animals take care of their young together?
no they don't the mother and father animals stay together but the group comes second to their young
No. They are cartilaginous fish and are related to sharks.
The following is their official classification:
Kingdom Animalia
Phylum Chordata
Class Elasmobranchii
Order Myliobatiformes
Family Mobulidae
Genus Manta
Species: Manta birostris
Mantids eat various creatures. But they usually eat creatures which are much smaller then them but in some cases the mantid will try to eat creatures the same size or even bigger.
It has also been know that a female Mantid will eat the male after mating. But this will only occur if the female mantis is hungry.
Personally i would recommend: Micro Crickets.
A stingray egg is encased in a hard outer shell often referred to as a 'mermaids purse'. It is a black colored square pocket with four curved spines one at each corner and vaguely resembles a purse shape. The ones I have seen are about seven to eight centimeters long.

Organisms living in close association often to the benefit of both is called?
An interaction in which one organism lives in a close association with another is called symbiosis. There are three types of symbiosis; mutualism, parasitism, and commensalism. In mutualism, both species benefit from the association; in parasitism, one species benefits at the expense of the other; and in commensalism, one species benefits and the other species is neither harmed or helped.
I've checked various sources and I found that 3 of them said, "Their life span is unknown to us." Apparently the life span of the stingrays has not been tracked. well I've done my research and it says that stingrays can live up to 15-25years in the wild in 4 websites.
The average life span of a king cobra in the wild can be up to 20 years. They may live longer in captivity, away from stress and danger.
