Did you know that manta rays have an amazing way of communicating? These creatures may use coded electrical impulses to convey messages to each other. Their large brain-to-body size ratio, the largest of any fish, suggests a sophisticated level of communication. Manta rays are also incredibly agile in the water, performing stunning acrobatic barrel rolls and breaching the surface. Scientists believe these displays could be linked to communication, mating rituals, or even getting rid of parasites. It's truly fascinating how these creatures continue to surprise researchers and ocean enthusiasts with their complex behaviors and intelligence.
