Twelve Days of Christmas
"On the ninth day of Christmas, my true love gave to me, Nine mantas feeding,
Eight lookdowns looking,
Seven sea hares swimming,
Six crabs-a-crawling,
Fiiiiiiive manateeeeeee!!!!!
Four banded shrimp,
Three sea tur-tles,
Two slipper lobsters
and a worm that looks like a Christmas Tree!!!!"
Manta Ray
Manta spp.
Manta rays are the largest of the rays and are closely related to sharks. As filter feeders, manta rays eat large quantities of zooplankton in the form of
shrimp, krill and planktonic crabs. When foraging, it slowly swims around its prey, herding it into a tight "ball" and then speeds through the bunched organisms with a wide-open mouth.
