Have you ever swam with a manta ray? I saw some while snorkeling once.

Have you ever been in the water with a manta ray? They are large rays that belong to the genus Manta.

Yes I have been in the water with rays before. They are majestic creatures.

Where were you in the water when you encountered the ray? I know they are found in temperate, subtropical and tropical waters.

I was in Cozumel Mexico. We were on a snorkeling trip and say a school of eagle rays. They move so smooth and gracefully through the water.

I find it kind of cool that they are filter feeders which means they eat zooplankton which they swallow as they swim with their mouths open! lol

I did not know that, don't whales eat in a similar manner?
