Manta alfredi, Guardian: Robson Nascimento by david witherall

Manta alfredi

Intelligent: Mantas have the largest brain of all fish with a network of blood vessels that surround the braincase to keep it warm.

Romantic: A male may chase (follow) a female for months, they are thought to leap in the air to impress their love and when they mate, their scoops (mouths) are intertwined.

Too romantic: Unfortunately, if she is particularly good looking other males may try and get her and sometimes 20 odd males form a train behind her. Not only that, females cannot escape attention and will get pregnant again on the very same day as giving birth.

You can see the mantas "training" as the males line up behind the female.

Mantas at Nusa Penida by Laura Jacobsen

Snorkeling at the cleaning station at Manta Point off Nusa Penida near Bali, Indonesia. We saw at least 12 individual manta rays with wingspans up to 3+ meters. The mantas circled around the cleaning station to get nibbled by little fish.
