Manta Rays The Flying Carpet Of Ebony

by:DR. Robert Ruben

Dr Robert Ruben is getting paid to swim with mantas and sharks.

Also he was working with seals a while ago. Also when he would try to study

about manta in the library he could not find anything about manta’s. Also dr

robert said the when he would swim with them they bueatfull. Also when covid

started when everyone was in qurinten they discovered new species of wales.

Manta are related to stingrays and sharks. Also if you did not know there is

a study site in Mexico pacific. They swim with mantas on that island. Manat

stumecs have black spots on them that are called fingerprints. And the stomach

is white.

Sometimes on the gills there will be fish handing on the gills. Also manta’s

are an endangered species. Also if you did not know sharks teeth last 2-3 weeks.

Then new pairs of teeth come to replace the old one. Also one type of shark's

lower jaw is shaped weirdly. It is shaped down and at the end it is a chercal shape

at the end of the lower jaw.

 Reflection

So based on the summary I think manats are a beautiful speacies. Also i

think in public spaces where you can study there spud be more info about manta.

Also I found it surprising that sting rays are related to matas and sharks are to.

Also I found it interesting that dr. Robert is swimming mantas for a job that is fun.

Also i found out it is sad the manta are an endangered species.

Also I liked the part where they found two new whales. Also it is cool how

sharks only have teeth for 2-3 weeks. And then they get new teeth that are cool.
