Sometimes called flying rays, Mobulas can leap out of the water, a fact which is still unknown as to why by scientists. It is thought to be either an attempt to impress each other, a method of communication through the vibration they create when they land in the water or a way of cleaning off parasites

The mobula ray migration at its finest. This is the largest known migration of rays, anywhere on Earth. Every year, tens of thousands of mobula rays migrate here to the coastal waters of Baja California Sur, where they congregate here in massive numbers between the months of April to July. When in large enough groups, they can become quite easy to approach and we get to enjoy incredible underwater views of these animals up close.
