Yes, a manta ray does not lay eggs. Manta rays are viviparous, which means they give birth to live young. The female manta ray becomes pregnant with embryos that develop inside her. After a gestation period of around one year, she gives birth to one or two fully-formed pups. The pups are relatively small, measuring around 1.5 meters wide. Manta rays are known for their large size and graceful movements in the oceans. They are filter feeders, primarily consuming plankton and small organisms. Despite their size and unique reproductive method, manta rays are gentle and pose no threat to humans.
