The manta ray, or giant manta (Manta birostris), is the largest of the rays, ranging up to 6.7 meters (22 ft) across its pectoral fins (or "wings") and weighing up to 1,350 kg (3,000 lb).
A giant manta's eyes are located at the base of the cephalic fins on each side of the head, and unlike other rays the mouth is found at the anterior edge of its head.
Mantas generally eat plankton, fish, larvae, and small organisms that are filtered out from the water by their gill rakers, a type of filter feeding that is called ram-jet feeding.

Manta is distinguished from Mobula by the terminal position of its mouth and the absence of teeth in the upper jaw (Last and Stevens 1994, Nelson 1994).
Manta rays are also a by-catch in unknown numbers in the tuna purse seine fisheries as well as in other fisheries and shark protection net programs.

Black Manta of course wonders what these kidnappings are all about.

About 25-30 of the special reconnaissance aircraft—designated the TR-3A ‘’Black Manta’ ‘—could be placed in service eventually, based at Holloman AFB, N. M., and Tonapah, Nev. Initial TR-3As are collocated with F-117As, although housed separately in larger hangars.
The manta -ray-shaped demonstrator was approximately the size of a McDonnell Douglas F/A-18, employing rounded, blended surfaces and radar-absorbing material.
Workers who were assigned to one or more of the classified Nevada locations in the past agreed the triangular shape of the reported aircraft ‘’has been around a long time’’ and is a planform familiar to those associated with that community.
