Credit © 🎞 @danielthomasbrowne 🖋 with @coralbayeco This was a crazy whale shark encounter! This juvenile whale shark was obsessed with bubbles and kept following our guests around. Once he had enough of chasing all of us he then began trying to scratch his back on the bottom of our boat!

The larger species, M. birostris, reaches 7 m in width, while the smaller, M. alfredi, reaches 5.5 m. Both have triangular pectoral fins, horn-shaped cephalic fins and large, forward-facing mouths. Wikipedia Mass: Giant oceanic manta ray: 1,600 kg Encyclopedia of Life Class: Chondrichthyes Order: Myliobatiformes Phylum: Chordata Family: Mobulidae Kingdom: Animalia Did you know: Manta rays are more recent, probably evolving from stingrays, but without the stinging barb. nationalgeographic.com.au 🖋 @respectanimalrights2 Kim Source national geographic and Wikipedia #ocean #MantaRay #coralbay #danielthomasbrowne https://www.instagram.com/p/B5QW_oiBcZ7/?igshid=dr9dhtdthu2i

Manta ray gracefully glides through the water by using its pectoral fins which move in the same way like wings of birds. /Kimberly Manta ray is marine fish that belongs to the family of eagle rays. There are two species of manta ray: giant manta ray and reef manta ray. They can be found in the tropical and subtropical parts of Indian, Pacific and Atlantic Ocean. Manta rays are rarely kept in the captivity because of their large size. Number of manta rays in the ocean is declining due to pollution of the sea, by-catch (entrapment in the fishing nets by accident) and uncontrolled collecting from the wild (gill rakers of manta ray are used in traditional Asian medicine). Thanks to all these factors, manta rays are classified as vulnerable. Manta ray can survive up to 50 years in the wild. Manta ray is ovoviviparous animal which means that female gives birth to live babies. One or rarely two babies are born once every two years. They look like miniature version of adults. Manta ray often leaps from the water. Researchers believe that this behavior facilitates elimination of parasites and plays role in the communication. /Kimberly #danielthomasbrowne #mantarays #underwaterphotography #ocean #respectthem #ourplanet #respectanimalrights https://www.instagram.com/p/B35ERMihRMY/?igshid=zu4myte4duo4
Beautiful photo and wise words by © 🖋 @danielthomasbrowne Turtle Tuesday on a Wednesday. The ocean is filled with about 165 million tons of plastic, if we don’t make changes by 2050 plastic will out weigh fish in the sea.
