Manta Rays Jumping, Sea of Cortez

Taking the time to appreciate what is available in nature is not only a hobby, it can truly make us appreciate the world where we live. Mankind has been exploring nature for millennia and it seems as if they have every corner of the globe covered. What might come as a surprise to you, however, is the fact that there is a part of the earth that is largely unknown. In fact, we may even know less about it than we do the universe.

Of course, I’m talking about the ocean and there certainly is a lot of exploration that still needs to take place in the vast, deep-sea. When you are at the ocean, there are going to be times when you will see something that truly amazes you. For the people on this boat, it came in the form of manta rays. They weren’t skimming the ocean floor, as you might expect, they were leaping out of the water!

Manta rays are not able to fly in the air, but it appears as if these rays were certainly giving it their best shot. Regardless of why they are doing it, it is something quite beautiful to see.
