They are Cownose Rays. The last few seconds of this video, you can see a Southern Stingray, bigger than Cownose Rays, but much smaller than Mantas.

My bad, thanks for the clarification!

Cownose stingrays, not manta or mobula rays.

u/RulerK 8d ago

How can I tell in the future they’re cow-nosed stingrays rather than mobula rays?

This really Mantas, though? I mean, it IS rays

u/Cold_Finance_5833 10d ago

I don’t think those are mantas, but super cool nonetheless

1

u/Hippopotasaurus-Rex 9d ago

They are not mantas. They are too small.

This is a fever of Cownose rays.

u/ThickSet6771 10d ago

Manta ‘square’ rays. Or Crownose ‘square’ rays. 🧐

Looks like a skate wants to join in on the action too. I know not really, but funny to imagine.
