The mouth of the Manta Ray is tremendously large and opens at the front end of its head, it also has very small teeth on the lower jaw. The tail is extremely thin and is separated from the body.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;font-family: Arial, Helvetica\">Manta Ray has five open gill slits on the ventral side of the body.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;font-family: Arial, Helvetica\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;font-family: Arial, Helvetica\">The colour of the Manta Ray varies from brown-olive to black on the dorsal surface, while the ventral side is white.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;font-family: Arial, Helvetica\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"color: #000000;font-family: Arial, Helvetica\">There are 2 species belonging to this genus:<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;font-family: Arial, Helvetica\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;font-family: Arial, Helvetica\"><i>Mobula birostris, also known as \u2018\u2019Giant Manta Ray\u2019\u2019<\/i><\/span><\/li>\n<li><i style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica;font-size: revert\">Mobula alfredi, which is the reef Manta Ray.<\/i><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;font-family: Arial, Helvetica\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;font-family: Arial, Helvetica\">The main difference between the two species is precisely the size, Mobula birostris can reach up to seven meters wide, while Mobula alfredi does not exceed five meters wide.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;font-family: Arial, Helvetica\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;font-family: Arial, Helvetica\"><b>\u00a0<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"color: #000000;font-family: Arial, Helvetica\">NUTRITION<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;font-family: Arial, Helvetica\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;font-family: Arial, Helvetica\">Manta ray feeds mostly on plankton and small fishes, capturing them on the surface. With fast movements of the cephalic fins, they convey towards the mouth a stream of water rich in planktonic organisms and small fishes: they are filtered by extensions of the branchial arcs, called \u2018\u2019gill rakers\u2019\u2019, which keep them at the passage of the water that will then be expelled from the gill slits.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;font-family: Arial, Helvetica\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;font-family: Arial, Helvetica\">Even if they have a set of teeth in the lower part of the mouth, they do not play a significant role in feeding.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;font-family: Arial, Helvetica\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;font-family: Arial, Helvetica\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"color: #000000;font-family: Arial, Helvetica\">REPRODUCTION<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;font-family: Arial, Helvetica\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;font-family: Arial, Helvetica\">Manta ray is ovoviviparous (which means that reproduction takes place through internal fertilization) and the female gives birth to a live newborn. Pregnancy lasts over a year and the reproduction\u2019s period is generally from the beginning of December to the end of April.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;font-family: Arial, Helvetica\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;font-family: Arial, Helvetica\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;font-family: Arial, Helvetica\">Sexual maturity is reached very late, due to the slow development of these specimens. In this specie, courtship involves many males, following a single female for a prolonged period until one male prevails and fertilization takes place.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;font-family: Arial, Helvetica\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;font-family: Arial, Helvetica\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"color: #000000;font-family: Arial, Helvetica\">WHERE DOES MANTA RAY LIVE?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;font-family: Arial, Helvetica\"><b>\u00a0<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;font-family: Arial, Helvetica\">Manta ray lives in the tropical and temperate-warm waters of all oceans, particularly near the coasts. In fact, it is in fact possible to see them swim mostly on the surface.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;font-family: Arial, Helvetica\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;font-family: Arial, Helvetica\">Mobula birostris is typical of the tropical and temperate oceans, while Mobula alfredi is more localised, for instance in the coral reefs of the Indo-Pacific Ocean and in some eastern parts of the Atlantic Ocean. However, both are absent in the Mediterranean Sea.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;font-family: Arial, Helvetica\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;font-family: Arial, Helvetica\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"color: #000000;font-family: Arial, Helvetica\">CONDITION AND MAIN THREATS<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;font-family: Arial, Helvetica\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;font-family: Arial, Helvetica\">Currently Mobula birostris is classified as endangered, and Mobula alfredi is identified as vulnerable on the IUCN red list of threatened species. Both are endangered by climate change, induced by human activity. Their meat is not good for human consumption, but the dried gills are widely sought after in China, for traditional medicine, they are also accidentally fished without any purpose. Even conventional poaching is important in this case, with fishermen selling the Manta ray skin for shark skin, using it to manufacture handbags and shoes.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;font-family: Arial, Helvetica\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;font-family: Arial, Helvetica\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;font-family: Arial, Helvetica\">The decrease for these species has led to a number of restrictions, all under the CITES (Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species), which has incorporated Manta ray into the convention to regulate its fishing and international trade.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;font-family: Arial, Helvetica\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;font-family: Arial, Helvetica\">Another important factor to consider is that the low reproduction rate for these species adversely affects the number of specimens that remain.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;font-family: Arial, Helvetica\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;font-family: Arial, Helvetica\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"color: #000000;font-family: Arial, Helvetica\">5 FUN FACTS ABOUT MANTA RAY<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;font-family: Arial, Helvetica\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;font-family: Arial, Helvetica\">A common thought is that Manta Ray is dangerous for man, but in reality this animal is harmless, having neither poisonous teeth nor stings that can hurt<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;font-family: Arial, Helvetica\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;font-family: Arial, Helvetica\">It\u2019s a very curious animal and has an excellent view: consider that several divers\u2019s stories talk about Manta ray who, swimming elegantly, approached them up to a distance of 2 m just to observe them<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;font-family: Arial, Helvetica\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;font-family: Arial, Helvetica\">The name Manta ray means \u2018\u2019cloak\u2019\u2019, referring to the characteristic flattened shape of the body that resembles a blanket or shawl swaying in the waves. It\u2019s also called \u2018\u2019Sea\u2019s devil\u2019\u2019 or \u2018\u2019Devil fish\u2019\u2019, because of its long appendages on the sides of the head that look just like two horns, that is the cephalic lobes<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;font-family: Arial, Helvetica\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;font-family: Arial, Helvetica\">Many tend to confuse Manta rays and Rays, but they aren\u2019t the same animals: at first glance they can look like, but Manta ray has eyes in lateral position and mouth in apical position, while Ray has mouth in ventral position and lives on the seabed<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;font-family: Arial, Helvetica\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;font-family: Arial, Helvetica\">A study demonstrated that Manta Ray can recognize their own reflection in the mirror: in fact, some researchers have observed that these animals react as if they recognize their own image. In technical terms, they passed the \u2018\u2019mirror test\u2019\u2019, often considered a measure of animal self-awareness and passed so far by a small number of species (mostly primates). It\u2019s the first fish in which you can notice something like that!<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;font-family: Arial, Helvetica\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;font-family: Arial, Helvetica\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;font-family: Arial, Helvetica\">The World Sustainability Foundation (WSF) is a non-profit organization dedicated to global social solidarity.
