Think twice bro

It is bad that we can't have the capacity to attract National Geographic without begging for their attention.

facts about the manta rays!
1-There are 2 species of manta rays: the reef manta (Manta alfredi) and the giant manta ray (Manta birostris).2- The largest species is the giant manta ray, whose central disc can measure up to 9 meters wide.
3- It possesses gills in the lower body, through which it obtains oxygen from water.
4-Their diet consists basically of zooplankton.
5-It’s distributed only in tropical, subtropical and temperate waters of the Indian, Pacific and Atlantic oceans.
6-They do not represent a significant threat to humans, but may attack if disturbed.
7-Manta rays have the largest brain of all fish.
8-They often visit sites called “cleaning stations” where some fish species are responsible for removing parasites from their skin.
9-They’re ovoviviparous. The female gives birth to live offspring, but these develop in eggs inside the mother.
10-Both species are classified as “vulnerable” in the Red List of the International Union for Conservation of Nature.
11- Their natural predators are large sharks, killer whales and false killer whales.
12- They usually avoid contact with humans.
13-They have been observed jumping out of water, presumably to eliminate parasites or to communicate, although there is also the possibility that the act constitutes a game.
14- They have teeth but only found in the lower jaw.
15-These teeth are used to chew food.
16-Usually, a female only has 1-2 offspring at a time.
17 are not particularly social animals, but often meet when feeding and performing migrations.
18- Their, agile and elegant swimming makes them being compared with birds flapping their wings during flight.
19- They belong to the Elasmobranchii subclass the same class containing sharks.
20- Their skeleton is composed of cartilage and not bone.
21. They lack venomous tail spikes.

Manta ray versus Stingray. Manta rays are related to stingrays. Both have flattened body shapes and wide pectoral fins that are fused to the head. One of the biggest differences between manta rays and stingrays is that manta rays do NOT have a tail "stinger" or barb like stingrays.

difference between Stingray and Manta Ray?

• Stingray is a group of rays with about 100 species while there are only two species of manta rays.

• Manta ray is much larger and heavier than stingrays.

• Stingray has barbed stings but not manta ray.

• Stingray could be harmful for humans, but there are no accidental attacks on divers from manta rays.

• Manta rays are found mostly around tropical waters and barely in subtropics, whereas stingrays inhabit tropical, subtropical, and occasionally temperate marine waters.

• Manta rays get their gills cleaned from other fishes frequently but not the stingrays.

Nigeria government and their political parties, are not ashamed of themselves in attempt to using this innocent fish for their political campaigns as if they are the ones providing boats, engines, nets, hooks, fuel and all the services (equipments) to these fishermen.

I watched this beautiful creature on Nat geo wild and whenever it's caught, it's weight and length measured and thereafter, it's returned into the water. But here in the land of the savage, they kill it for consumption.
