In Part 1 of my journey into the Sea of Cortez, I focus on the two most common rays in the Sea of Cortez. The Cownose Ray and the Mobula Ray. Both are incredibly beautiful. Mobula Rays are sometimes called flying rays, thanks to their acrobatic leaping. But scientists are not sure exactly why they do it. In this video, I showcase these jumps and discuss a few things you may not have known about these magnificent fish.
Thanks to the crew of the Gallant Lady.
