response: Sounds neat! Have you heard that they're filter feeders too? They swim with their mouths open and swallow zooplankton, which they eat large amounts of.
original_response: 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
history: Have you ever swam with a manta ray? I saw some while snorkeling once. Never, that sounds interesting though, the manta rays belong to the "Manta" genus as well! 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.
knowledge: They are filter feeders and eat large quantities of zooplankton, which they swallow with their open mouths as they swim.
