What Makes the Manta Ray the Ultimate Flying Machine?
In summary, a manta ray is a large, graceful fish with a diamond-shaped body, large fins, and long tail. They have the ability to glide through the water using their wing-like pectoral fins and can be found in warm, tropical waters around the world. They can grow up to 7 meters in width and are not considered dangerous to humans as they do not have teeth or a stinger and are not aggressive creatures. However, it is important to respect their space and observe them from a safe distance.
