  1. genus manta

    Genus Manta refers to a classification of large rays within the family Mobulidae. The genus Manta comprises two main species: the reef manta ray (Manta alfredi) and the giant manta ray (Manta birostris), both of which are characterised by their triangular pectoral fins, large mouths, and broad heads. This genus is noted for its high level of intelligence, with larger brain-to-body ratio than most fish, and its unique feeding behavior, using its cephalic lobes to channel plankton-rich water into its mouth. There’s some recent taxonomical debate to include these species under the genus Mobula instead of Manta.
