| My first Manta Ray sighting in the Indian Ocean, Maldives |
Manta rays have a distinctive body shape with triangular ‘wings’ and paddle-like lobes extending in front of their mouths. The disc width can reach at least 7 m (23 ft) and there are even anecdotal reports of up to 9.1 m (30 ft).
The average weight is 1,300 kilograms (2,900 lb). They are generally dark on the upper surface, ranging from black to greyish-blue and brown, with pale undersides; individuals have a unique pattern of blotches and scars that can be used to identify them. The large, cavernous mouth is situated at the front of the body and contains 18 rows of teeth on the lower jaw.
