[id: two close ups of the open mouths of manta rays. they have rows of black gill openings on the top and bottom of their mouths. end id]

manta fact of the day: despite the size of their mouths, manta cant eat anything but plankton! their mouths have gill rakers and gill arches that keep their mouths open, since the only time they open their mouths is to feed. if something gets in a manta rays mouth, they just spit it back out.

Prompt 13: Migrate

The Giant Red Panda Ray

For the migrate prompt, I went back to Just The Zoo of Us episode no. 18, with the featured animal pair of Giant Manta Ray and Red Panda.

Unlike most rays, the Giant Red Panda Ray has a paddle-like tail and incredibly unique coloring that is reminiscent of the red panda. 

They have long international migration patterns having seasonal destinations that relate to zooplankton movement, ocean temperatures, and mating behaviors.

Color Vision:

While I have not colored this creature (yet), I envision their coloring is much like the red panda pattern inspiration suggests, though the colors are tinted on a bluer, underwater hue. Side note: To learn more about the inspiration behind this series, please check out the captions in any of my first three hybrid animals from this month!

Basing yourself where you want to spend every sunset is a great idea. One is a luxury pick, one is a value selection and the last recommendation I have for you is where I recommend for the budget backpackers.Īnanta Bungalow – Value: The Ananta Bungalow is an awesome location right next to Crystal Bay, which is the best sunset beach on Nusa Penida and where the Manta Ray and snorkel trips launch off from. All three of these spots are in great locations but each one is a little different. I’m going to recommend three places to stay on Nusa Penida.

Save money on Nusa Penida by staying at an Airbnb! Get a FREE $40 Airbnb Coupon by using my code when you book! For just $63 (or even $45 if you are traveling in a group of 6), the top-rated Nusa Penida Day Tour includes hotel pick-up and drop-off from Bali, lunch, boat transfers and your guide. If you are staying in Bali. but still want to spend a day or two experiencing how epic Nusa Penida is, you can take a day trip on a speedboat to Nusa Penida and tour around the sights for the day (or stay for the night) with a guide before returning back to Bali in the evening. You definitely need to spend at least 2 days if not 4!! This way you can fully explore all of these cool spots rather than just getting a glimpse at each location. The first time I only came for one day (7 hours) and this was a huge mistake. To book it online in advance for the guaranteed lowest price you can click the link below to reserve your ticket.īook your ticket: Sanur(Bali) to Nusa Lembongan/Nusa Penida Ferry The ferry leaves multiple times per day from Sanur (east Bali) If you book it in advance often you can have your pick-up from the hotel included. I think this was even better than swimming with Whale Sharks in the Philippines. We hung out in the bay until we could hardly swim anymore. The Manta Ray isn’t dangerous but it is still intimidating when a 5-meter creature swims straight at you before ducking away at the last moment. The Manta Rays will often actually head straight for you and then dart off to the side at the last minute. The Manta Rays always seem playful and loop back again and again unlike turtles or fish, which often swim away at the sight of humans. More than five Manta Rays playfully looped around the bay, entertaining the group of snorkelers. When we jumped into the water we were immediately staring face to face with a giant Manta Ray, which is one of the most majestic creatures of the ocean. Once we arrived at Manta Point, the captain looked for any Manta Rays and they are very good at spotting them before you even have your snorkel ready. Our boat drove us the 20 minutes to Manta Point as we took in the beautiful coastline of Nusa Penida. I have experienced the tour both from Nusa Penida and Nusa Lembongan and both were very relaxing and great experiences. MY EXPERIENCE SNORKELING WITH MANTA RAYS AT MANTA POINT To book a tour on Lembongan, head down into the main street and you will find many tour offices who all sell the tour at the same price more or less. To book a tour from Nusa Penida just head down to Crystal Bay and find a vendor as that is where you will launch off from. You can book a tour locally if you are already on Nusa Penida or Nusa Lembongan. The critter was caught when it became fouled on the anchor line of the "Miss Pensacola II" and was unable to free itself.BOOK A SNORKEL TOUR WITH MANTA RAYS AT MANTA POINT FROM NUSA LEMBONGAN OR PENIDA It was reported to have weighed over 6,000 pounds and measured 30 feet across the wing. The Great Manta was captured by Captain A.L. Manta Rays are among the most intelligent fish in the sea. The 26-foot-long Manta had to be transported by a tow truck because of its size. It is reported that the creature swam into the fishermen's net. They have caught a huge Oceanic Manta Ray, which weighed over a ton. In 2015, a group of fishermen in Peru have made a pretty big find. This ray however, died due to exhaustion and struggle. The Oceanic Manta Ray measured about 16 and a half feet in width and weighed about 3,300 pounds. In 2008, Hainan Sanya, China, a local fisherman took 3 hours to pull back his net into the boat and caught one of the largest Manta Rays ever.

Daily Ray Fact:

The Giant Oceanic Manta Ray is the world’s largest ray with a wingspan of up to 26 feet. They are found worldwide in tropical, subtropical, and temperate bodies of water. They are a migratory species and seasonal visitor along productive coastlines, in oceanic island groups, and near offshore pinnacles and seamounts.

Giant manta ray of caution!!!!

Sometimes you just want to make a giant plushie to see if you can and the only fleece you have that’s big enough is neon orange and yellow

Featuring a mini manta ray made using @firesidetextiles space fabric for scale. And also me, for scale lol

#sewing #handmade #giant manta ray plushie #manta ray plushie #my phone keeps autocorrecting it to ‘manga ray’ #the wings aren’t quiiiiite as wide as I think they should be #but this was how much of the fabric I had left #therefore this is how big it is #because for once in my life there is no pattern! #I just freehand cut out half a manta ray (after folding the fabric in half for symmetry) #and then put that piece of fabric on top of my other piece of fleece #and cut out the second piece #haphazard! I forgot seam allowances existed for a minute! #but it turned out well and only took around half an hour to make! #I want to make an army of them!!!!!! #a flock! a gaggle!! a parade!!!!!!

Daily fish fact #207

Giant oceanic manta ray!

They can have twins sometimes! Most of the time a manta ray mom only has a single pup, but sometimes two embryos can develop simultaneously! Manta rays are more or less viviparous as well.

What would the Dairy Islands be without their Dairy Sea?

So I am beyond excited to share with you the animal helping to keep it clean and pure:

You know em, you love em: the Milky Manta Ray!

Honestly, I am beyond happy with them! There was no question, i had to draw the animal a major character was referencing.

It was a big struggle until my twin suggested using the drink Grant made in Dirty Laundry once, the Queen's Punch, for inspiration and that opened my third eye!

They swim in their favoured territory, where another body of "water" meets the Dairy Sea and filter the milk, feeding on those nutrients in the process. This gives each Manta Ray a distinct colouration. Once the liquid has passed through their bodies enough to have returned to pure milk it is then released through the ends of their wings, fins and tail.

Got enough milk?
