Is there a more wonderful animal in all of existence than the manta ray?
Look at it. It's so aesthetic. The finest animal alive, on land or sea or air.

i think gars are neater
Chinese are poaching them in increasingly large numbers to use their front flaps in traditional medicine
they're specifically going after the docile ones that approach divers because they're easy targets
Filthy bug chinks
>traditional medicine
I wish all chinese boomers with erectile dysfunction fucking died this instant
Dubs and all chinese ED boomers now have a vagina.
>he didn't take crushed monkey testicle to increase chances of dubs

Do you have a source for this?
https://www.mantaray-world.com/manta-ray-hunting/
generally google manta ray poaching
Imagine if we just exterminated all Chinese and turned the country and its coastline into a giant wildlife refugee.
too late for that, entire chinese coastline is devoid of life
in fact if you try to do marine research on the chinese coast you get arrested and your ship impounded
it's the greatest ecological collapse on the planet but china is keeping a close lid on it, and going after every marine biologist who tries to bring it up
and course chinese cocksuckers and 5th columists in other countries are first to claim you're racist against china for even suggesting there might be a very good reason why china prevents any marine research in their waters
Just remember they are using technology and equipment that European invented and many are working at Euro & America company 🙂 Aren't you so proud? Good thing we had industrial revolution thank you Europe & America.
why are you proud of advocating for wildlife killing for extremely dumb reasons? why are the chinese proud to be retarded?
Japan needs to rule Asia with an iron fist
japan was trying to exterminate dolphins and whales tho
my aquarium has a ray-petting room 🙂
I don't understand how taming them works. There are tame ones you can pet that don't have stingers but shouldn't some actions set off a reflex that makes them attempt to dry sting you? I've never seen it happen.
Are they cool with divers?
They're filter feeders.
One of the only fish who can recognize their reflection. They also leap into the air some times.
>One of the only fish who can recognize their reflection.
Didn't know that, pretty based.
They occasionally approach divers so they remove fish hooks and things like that from them.
I'm getting my open water diver certificate next month and I will make it my mission to remove fishing hooks from all manta ray frens I come across.
So none
Imagine being a ray and lot living on the floor.
How does that even happen?
