Imagine that you are with your friends and decide to feed some fish, and you find a visitor as big as this one that you will see next.

The enormous size of this fish makes it seem intimidating, but usually they are not. The manta rays are a marine species that usually are not aggressive with humans, although yes, if you find any, I can not assure you that you come out dry from the adventure.
If you have the opportunity to see a manta ray in the sea or on the beach, make sure you move carefully through the water to avoid stepping on it, since there we can not predict its reaction.
In general, they are docile and curious animals; the stripes are not of the animals that flee when there are human beings present. This is especially true, as the rays are close to many popular tourist spots
