Visit http://www.earth-touch.com for a closer look at the wonders of the natural world.

We descended down through the green water and it wasnt long before the first manta ray (Manta birostris) emerged from the gloom.

Nearly 75% of mantas along this coast show evidence of at least one shark bite, usually on the trailing edge of a wing. They come to these cleaning stations to have parasites removed by willing cleaner wrasse.

  • I scuba alot and I would love to swim with these animals, slow and graceful

  • @mcgaugh57 none of them had bites, and they live in areas where whites don't go. and whites don't attack them.

  • everything under water makes me damn scary ...

    but its wonderfull at the same time

  • Wow, they're huge!

  • One of those Rays had a huge bite out of it's tail area. Must have been a Great White.
