Giant manta ray
Giant manta (Manta birostris) swimming in front of the Sun. The manta is the largest of the rays, and it can reach up to six metres from wingtip to wingtip. It inhabits tropical seas throughout the world, preferring coastal waters to the open sea. It feeds mainly on plankton and small fish, which it filters from the water. The fins on either side of its head (lower right) help to guide water into its mouth. Photographed in the Indian Ocean, off the Maldives

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the majestic beauty of a Giant manta ray gracefully swimming in front of the radiant Sun. With its impressive size, spanning up to six meters from wingtip to wingtip, this magnificent creature is the largest among all rays. Found in tropical seas worldwide, it prefers coastal waters over the vast open ocean. The Giant manta ray sustains itself by feeding on plankton and small fish, skillfully filtering them from the surrounding water. In this image taken off the Maldives in the Indian Ocean, we witness nature's masterpiece as this solitary giant glides effortlessly through the crystal-clear blue waters. Its distinct fins on either side of its head aid in directing water into its mouth for efficient feeding. As a predator beneath the surface, this carnivorous marvel exemplifies both power and grace. The photograph not only captures an extraordinary moment but also highlights various aspects of marine biology and zoology. It offers a glimpse into our planet's diverse wildlife and environment while showcasing one of nature's most fascinating cartilaginous creatures - Manta birostris. With no mention of commercial use intended for this print by Science Photo Library, we are left with pure admiration for these incredible giants that roam our oceans freely amidst their tropical aquatic habitat.
