The name Manta means blanket. The movement of the fins through the water is very similar to that of a bird flapping its wings. They are extremely fast swimmers and also considered to be one of the most graceful as they move around. If you don’t look quickly though one can be gone before you realize it was there. While the Manta Ray has many rows of sharp teeth, they aren’t used for eating. Instead they have a filtering system. It doesn’t have a nose. (Photograph: WDR) -- source link
