+            On the surface, they consume large quantities of zooplankton in the
+            form of shrimp, krill, and planktonic crabs.

+            Swimming behavior in mantas differs across habitats: when
+            travelling over deep water, they swim at a constant rate in a
+            straight line, while further inshore, they usually bask or swim
+            idly around.

+            Mantas may travel alone or in groups up to 50. They may associate
+            with other fish species, as well as sea birds and marine mammals.
+            Mantas sometimes breach or leap out of the water. Individuals in a
+            group may make aerial jumps in succession.
