These Mobulas are dining in the light of the Searcher. It was a wonderful nighttime visit from a school of mobula rays on a recent tour to Baja’s Sea of Cortez. These rays are known for their extreme jumping and breaching abilities, but this time they were slowly swimming and feeding on plankton attracted to our boat lights.
Mobula rays resemble manta rays and are in fact related. They are called flying rays, devil rays, or just mobulas. They feed by scooping prey into their mouths with the lobes on either side of their heads. So a feast was happening in this video!
