MANTA RAY | WHAT DO YOU KNOW ABOUT THEM?
2 years ago
16
The giant manta ray, or giant sea devil, has the largest brain of any fish species in the world, but eats
the manta ray feeds on the smallest filtered marine organisms.
There are two kinds of manta rays: reef rays (Manta alfredi) are found in
coastal waters of the tropics and subtropics, and the world's largest manta ray, or giant sea devil (Manta birostris), migrates in open waters around the world.
Unlike its closest living relative, the shark, the manta actually has no teeth and feeds on plankton filtered from the water thanks to rows of tiny plates in its mouth, which the manta uses as a funnel to sieve through the plankton as it swims.
Mantas control the amount of plankton, its diversity, and regulate the nutrient cycle.
