Mobulidae is a family of large, flat-bodied fish commonly known as manta rays and devil rays. They are characterized by their broad, wing-like pectoral fins and a distinctive flattened body shape. These gentle creatures are found in warm, tropical oceans around the world and are known for their graceful swimming abilities.
Manta rays, a notable member of the Mobulidae family, can grow up to 29 feet (8.8 meters) in wingspan. They primarily feed on plankton and small fish by filtering water through their gills. Mobulidae species are often seen performing acrobatic leaps out of the water, showcasing their agility and strength.
