| | Manta ray - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | 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. |
