There's a number of reasons. It could be an attempt to escape from predators or they could be doing what the mantas do, trying to shake parasites from their backs.
Please don't pass on a wrong message by saying that it stabbed the woman with it's barb, cause it did NOT, the eagle ray jumped out of water as it typically does and accidentally hit the woman and she fell down hitting her head hard on the floor which caused her death.
Its a nice video that you captured of its jump, but that message along isn't necessary . They use their barbs 4 defense only & not even to kill their food,using their barbs to attack is definitely a last resort, plz respect dat
i saw a eagle ray jump while i was sailing with my friend. it was so scary but super cool to watch, to bad i didnt have a waterproof camera then ): but it was amazing to see! xx
lol everyone on here is stupid... the ray did NOT eat the bird.... rays only jump to give birth, to escape prey (usually just being startled) and to get parasites off ... not to catch birds... they dont eat birds. it would choke if it tried.
About the story you mention in your description, she wasn't hit with the barb, the stingray just weighed 500 pounds and she was going 25 mph she died from head trauma after getting hit by it.
to let you no you got the description wrong this is my dad's freind sister and the eagle ray jumped out of the water and struck her in the head hitting her with such force that she was killed on impact same with the eagle ray they both died no it didnt sting her
OK, maybe not definately a Manta but not the kind that killed the women. That was a Spotted Eagle. This was either a manta or a Southern Eagle which is all black.
press the Button next to 1.not on the numpad. it shud show these. ¬` . (above TAB) press shift + that button :)..it it dont work try shift + @(depends how ur keyboard is set) .
did that ray just eat the bird! haha watch it...theres a bird just above the horizon...then dissapears when the ray gets it. or was that the point in the vid? i dunno but it was sick....didn't know they jumped....thats sweet as.
it was just some random footage i found floating around ... after i read the news article about the boating accident though i had to hunt down some vid.
cool
