What an incredible photo! It looks like the invasion of the Mobil’s Rays aka Devil Rays. The explanation after the credits. This is a #repost from @aluciaproductions via @PhotoAroundApp No it’s not a movie poster. It’s just the otherworldly lighting you get when you take a sub to the benthic zone. Sea of Cortez, 2015 . Mobula Mobula is a genus of ray in the family Mobulidae found worldwide in tropical and warm temperate seas. Some authorities consider this to be a subfamily of family Myliobatidae (eagle rays). Their appearance is similar to that of manta rays, which are in the same family, and based on genetic and morphological evidence the mantas belong in Mobula (they are traditionally in their own genus Manta). Species of this genus are often collectively referred to as "devil rays", "flying mobula" or simply "flying rays", due to their propensity for breaching, sometimes in a spectacular manner. Depending on the exact species, the devil rays can attain disc widths of up to 1.1–5.2 m (3.6–17.1 ft), the largest being second only to the manta rays in size, which can reach 5.5–7 m (18–23 ft). Despite their size, little is known about the devil rays, much of it being from anecdotal accounts, whereas the manta rays are better-known. Most species entirely lack a tail stinger or it is encased (rendering it harmless); only M. mobular has a free stinger. - Wikipedia . #aluciaproductions #mobularay #DevilRays #SeaOfCortez #CoolEffect #Information
