Giant Oceanic Manta Ray The giant oceanic manta ray, giant manta ray, or oceanic manta ray, is a species of ray in the family Mobulidae, and the largest type of ray in the world. They are circumglobal and are typically found in tropical and subtropical waters, but can also be found in temperate waters. Until 2017, giant mantas were classified in the genus Manta, along with the smaller reef manta.

How does a manta ray defend itself?

A manta ray uses its size as well as its speed to get away from predators as mantas do not have a poisonous barb on their tails like some other rays do. If a manta does survive a shark attack, it will visit feeding stations where smaller fish eat away dead skin and parasites that could be problematic for the ray later on.
