- The birth
Manta and mobula have something in common with humans. The way they reproduce is not laying eggs, but giving birth like humans. Only one child came out. The period of a Manta to give birth is around once or every three years.
The hallmark of this adorable sea animal is that it has a pair of horns near its mouth. But actually, the horns are a pair of cephalic fins. That’s what helps Manta’s way of having three hundred tiny teeth that are barely visible but are useful for mating.
While the water that enters his mouth is expelled through the five gills located on the bottom of his body. Plankton is filtered into its stomach through a filter plate in its gills slits, and Manta can suck up tons of plankton. Manta colors vary widely. From plain colored to patterned.
But if you pay attention to the pattern of each Manta is always different, like a human fingerprint. And the Manta color variant is a sign to find out where it came from. Primadonna underwater Komodo diving is very unforgettable. Diving enthusiasts will be very lucky here. But hopefully, the survival of Manta can be maintained and not managed by irresponsible parties.
