 | | The manta ray, or giant manta, 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). |
 | | Mantas generally eat plankton and small fish, but anything that fits in their mouths could end up being swallowed. |
 | | The genus Manta is sometimes placed in its own family, Mobulidae, but this article follows FishBase, and places it in the family Myliobatidae, with the eagle rays and their relatives. |
