Giant Manta

Often leaping right out of the water with a wingspan of more than 20 feet, the Giant Manta Ray (Manta Birostris) is known to be a graceful swimmer with acrobatic skills. Also known as the Devil Ray, its horn looking features act as passages for consuming plankton and other small organisms. But for all its size ans skill, mantas are completely harmless.
