Manta rays (Manta) are a genus of large rays.
History[edit | edit source]
Living in warm tropical and sub-tropical seas, manta rays were encountered by both the misthios Kassandra in ancient Greece, and the pirates Edward Kenway and Alonzo Batilla during the Golden Age of Piracy. Kassandra encountered them during her dives in the Mediterranean Sea,[1] and Edward during his in the Caribbean Sea,[2] while Alonzo fished for them.[3]
Although manta rays are large in size, reaching widths of up to 30 ft (9 m), and are related to sharks, they do not pose a threat to humans as they only eat small fish and plankton.[4]
