Video: Mobula Rays Jump From the Water in the Gulf of California

The giant oceanic (Manta birostris) and reef mantas ( Manta alfredi) are both listed as Vulnerable by the IUCN. Photo by Paul Hilton, Greenpeace.

A viral video shows how a type of ray, the mobula, can fly.

Seemingly in unison, the rays glide under the water before getting enough speed and ejecting themselves from the water. The footage was captured off the Gulf of California.
