Flying Mobulas

Both mantas and mobulas are members of the Family Mobulidae, a group about which, very little is known. Michael Albert has posted photos od mobulas leaping fromt he surface of the sea. "Whoosh! Without warning, a mobula emerges from below the surface, its long flat body glistening in the evening light and whip for a tail trailing behind. Flap, flap, flap, maybe a somersault or two, and then smack! It happened again and again. Single flips. Straight-up belly flops."
