@Taikkah Thats why the world is kind of twisted now, because some people think they were born as BIRDS instead of FISH

@trentstarreppenpride Manta's and eagle rays both jump. The eagle rays can also weigh up to 500lb

@fishfilmmaker "Manta" can be a generic term for any mobulid of unknown species - in the manta/devil ray subfamily. You can call the "real manta" (Manta birotris) devil ray too, that's an equally valid name for that species as well. Those names are somewhat synonymous.
It is Similar to the term "dog".
Generic, non specific name: "dog" = A member of the dog family, Canidae
Specific species: Canis familiaris, "domestic dog", or just "dog".

@trailljunkie You can clearly see the two "horns" on the way up (pause if in doubt). Of course, Mantas and Mobulas are also part of the eagle ray family in any case. But this is a Mobula, as the poster says. And jumping is typical of Mobulas.

Flying stingray... LOL That's awesome!
mate that is not a manta ray that is a eagle ray. eagle rays jump out of the water thats why they are called eagle ray's. manta rays weigh like 500kg thats like asking a fat chick to jump 5 ft in the air :)
