Ik ur gonna be shocked, but thats not a manta ray thats a mobular ray. 😂 ik ik i felt the same feeling when i learnt this. You can tell by their mouth shape, mantas have a curved pair.
@@Marivixer oh i hate it when people think they know so much. The devil fish or giant devil ray is a species of ray in the family Mobulidae, AKA a mobula ray, like i said,
@@WhiteCloudAffinitywell, in technicality manta rays don't even exist anymore. The manta genus was retired when genetic testing proved close relation to mobular rays, so even the ones that have the mouth at the front and what used to be classified as manta rays are now in the genus mobula. It's so cool when shit happens in fields of science and previous classifications change upon new knowledge, it's just science at work and it's glorious
Imagine being a viking or some shit, back in the day when people didn't have access to knowledge about this, sailing on the open sea, and out of nowhere, a giant bird-fish thing just jumps out of the water and dives back into the deep unknown, never ro be seen again
