caption_attribution_description: Loud and huge. And jumping. High.
context_page_description: Various marine animals are capable of aerial locomotion, i.e., jumping out of the water and moving through air. The possible reasons of this behavior are hunting, escaping from predator and saving energy for swimming or breathing. Some of the jumping behaviors initiate gliding and taxiing in air, while some of them end up falling back to water.
context_section_description: The mechanisms and jumping patterns of some aquatic animals are not clear. Mobula penetrates sea surface by many photo evidences. Great white shark attacks seals near water surface at Seal Island in South Africa
