Manta Rays live in tropical, subtropical, and temperate ocean waters across the globe. They have two horn-shaped fins protruding from the front of their heads, which has also given them the nickname “devil fish.” For decades, scientists thought there was just one species of manta ray. In 2008 it was discovered that there are two distinct species: the reef manta ray, which live along coastlines in the Indo-Pacific, and the giant oceanic manta ray, which lives in all the world’s major oceans, spending most of its life far from land. While the smaller reef manta has an impressive wingspan of about 11 feet wide on average, the giant oceanic manta ray— the largest species of ray —can have a wingspan of up to 29 feet. In the past three generation lengths (87 years), the giant manta ray has undergone a population reduction of between 50 and 79%.
