Kona is famous for its manta ray dives for one main reason, and that is plankton.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"what-kind-of-manta-rays-are-in-kona\"><\/span>What kind of manta rays are in Kona?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>The Manta Rays in Kona: The Manta Rays that live in the Hawaii waters are the Mobula alfredi species. They can grow up to a wingspan of 5.5 m that is 18 ft in size. Manta rays feed on Plankton that they filter out from water while they swim with their huge mouths open.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"what-do-hawaiians-call-manta-rays\"><\/span>What do Hawaiians call manta rays?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Hahalua<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"can-manta-rays-hurt-you\"><\/span>Can manta rays hurt you?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Manta rays have long tails like stingrays. Only they don&#39;t have barbs. That means that manta rays can&#39;t sting you or anybody for that matter.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"why-do-mantas-jump-out-of-the-water\"><\/span>Why do mantas jump out of the water?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Mating ritual Scientists think, just as with many other animal species, that doing so is an attempt to impress each other. Although both the males and females jump, males leap more commonly, theoretically attempting to court the females.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"what-eats-a-manta-ray\"><\/span>What eats a manta ray?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Do manta rays have any predators? Due to their large size and speed, they have very few natural predators, these include large sharks and killer whales.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"what-is-the-difference-between-a-stingray-and-a-manta-ray\"><\/span>What is the difference between a stingray and a manta ray?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Manta rays are related to stingrays. Both have flattened body shapes and wide pectoral fins that are fused to the head. One of the biggest differences between manta rays and stingrays is that manta rays do NOT have a tail &#34;stinger&#34; or barb like stingrays.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"how-long-do-manta-rays-live\"><\/span>How long do manta rays live?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Lifespan &#038; Reproduction Gestation is thought to last around a year. Although manta rays have been reported to live at least 40 years, not much is known about their growth and development.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"are-manta-rays-friendly\"><\/span>Are manta rays friendly?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Now, manta rays are not like most animals. Manta rays are friendly. They may approach you and often allow you to get reasonably close to them (which is why snorkeling with manta rays is such a breathtaking experience). But because they allow you to get close to them does not mean you should touch them.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"do-humans-eat-manta-rays\"><\/span>Do humans eat manta rays?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>In the wild, manta rays are primarily hunted by large sharks and killer whales, or orcas. Humans also occasionally consume manta rays; the fish is considered a delicacy still in some cultures. More commonly, however, their gill plates are used in Chinese medicine and are often consumed in that context.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"what-is-the-largest-manta-ray-ever-recorded\"><\/span>What is the largest manta ray ever recorded?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>30 feet<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"are-manta-rays-bigger-than-sharks\"><\/span>Are manta rays bigger than sharks?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>The great white shark easily outweighs the manta ray. In fact, at up to 5,000 pounds, it can reach sizes that are more than 1,000 pounds larger than giant manta rays! At its largest, the great white shark can grow to around 21 feet.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"how-deep-do-manta-rays-swim\"><\/span>How deep do manta rays swim?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Giant manta rays can dive more than 3,280 feet (1,000 m) underwater, but typically feed only 33 feet (10 m) deep.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"how-high-can-manta-rays-jump\"><\/span>How high can manta rays jump?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Huge groups of the fish regularly gather together to leap out of the sea and launch themselves into the air. They can jump around two metres out of the water before flopping back down with a splash.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"do-manta-rays-swim-close-to-shore\"><\/span>Do manta rays swim close to shore?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>They do come to the coast areas for the coral reefs and to find cleaning stations from time to time. They are migrational and will travel long distances if they need to in order to find food. They have been seen leaping out of the water from time to time.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"is-there-a-devil-ray\"><\/span>Is there a Devil Ray?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>The giant devil ray (Mobula mobular) is a large marine vertebrate and can reach up to 5.2 m in disc width (DW), although specimens of about 3 m DW are most common. This large epipelagic batoid fish inhabits the entire Mediterranean Sea and possibly the adjacent Atlantic waters.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"what-is-a-group-of-manta-rays-called\"><\/span>What is a group of manta rays called?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Squadron<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"how-intelligent-are-manta-rays\"><\/span>How intelligent are manta rays?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Intelligence. Manta rays have the largest brain-to-size ratio of any cold-blooded fish. Studies have shown that manta rays may recognize themselves in the mirror, an ability indicative of high cognitive function, also shown by dolphins, primates, and elephants.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"where-is-the-largest-manta-ray-sanctuary-in-the-world\"><\/span>Where is the largest manta ray sanctuary in the world?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Indonesia<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"what-are-baby-stingrays-called\"><\/span>What are baby stingrays called?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Pups<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"do-stingrays-like-to-be-touched\"><\/span>Do stingrays like to be touched?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>\u201cWe think we have pretty strong evidence that they don&#39;t get anything negative out of it,\u201d Van Bonn said. \u201cIn fact, there&#39;s evidence that they do get something out of it and they seem to enjoy it.\u201dFeb 21, 2018<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"how-long-is-a-stingray-pregnant\"><\/span>How long is a stingray pregnant?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>After a gestation period of three months, the female produces eggs that hatch internally before birth.
