	Manta ray - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Three species have been identified: Manta birostris, Manta ehrenbergii, and Manta raya, but they are quite similar to each other, and the last two may just be isolated populations.

		Mantas have been given a variety of common names, including Atlantic manta, Pacific manta, devil ray, devilfish, and just manta.
