Las mobulas (mantas y mantas diablo) se alimentan por filtración.

Se alimentan de zooplancton, animales microscópicos que flotan en la columna de agua.

Mobulas (manta and devil rays) are large-scale ram filter feeders that separate planktonic food particles from large volumes of water with minimal clogging.

Day 25: Manta Ray

There are three types of manta that can be found in tropical waters across the globe. These mighty mobulas can reach a wingspan of 9m!

Like sharks, they lack bones, but have a skeleton made entirely of cartilage, the same tissue we have in our ears and nose!

Gigantic flying dinosaurs? Mobulas? You're talking about manta rays, my friend. Their wings are actually pectoral fins. Let's get the species straight before we tackle the metacrisis 😊

Migración de mobulas en baja California sur México
Who said flying is limited to the sky?

This footage shows the largest known migration of mobula rays, captured in the waters of Baja California Sur.

Filmed by freediver and photographer Aidan Bedford.
A quiet reminder that art often begins with attention.

Lol, the Sea of Cortez is between mainland Mexico and Baja California. Usually calm & just gorgeous. So many beautiful swimming-things that Jacques Cousteau called it "the world's aquarium." I actually hear mobulas slapping the water when they fly out & slap the water on the way back down.

The giant mobulas we got to see in Revillagigedo were beyond my ability to comprehend. So absurdly huge.
