Living ramps in all the warm seas and tropical waters of the Pacific and Atlantic oceans, including the Mediterranean Sea.



Manta ray exclusively feeds on small fish and plankton crustaceans



Manta ray also known as "giant sea devil." The unusual name he received for head fins along the edges of the mouth slit. Fins ramp needed for hunting. During the voyage, he sends them into the mouth water flow, rich in plankton and small fish.



Stingrays suck in water and passed through a gill plate. After filtering, they are crustaceans, and small fish.

What he does, it is still not known for certain. Perhaps in this way he is trying to get rid of wearable marine parasites.



Manta overcome great distances in search of food, constantly following the movements of the plankton. The maximum speed that develops a manta ray - about 10 kilometers per hour.
