Manta Rays Feeding Habits

Recommended Posts

Hello friends,

Manta rays are usually found in tropic waters, but they migrate to different places each year. Manta rays are the largest species of ray and are also called the giant ray. However, the manta ray does not have a stinger like other rays. The manta ray's versatile feeding habits help them survive and evolve.

Manta rays are filter feeders. Manta rays suck plankton filled water through their mouths, filter it, then lets the water out of their body through their gills. Manta rays also use lobes on either side of their mouth to help get food inside their mouth. Food is kept inside the manta rays mouth by small plates that are part of the rays gills. The food sticks to the plates instead of being flushed out of the rays body with excess water.

Thanks and Regards

Ritchie Michael
