Everything Tech Review well it's working because they always have interesting stories!! which are short and sweet and straight to the point ...but they also leave you wanting more
oH. MY GOD... before I saw the manta and whale sharks swimming together I was literally gonna say those are my two fav marine animals..... im crying I wish I was there!!!!!!
what an amazing job, must be so good for the soul. 1. she gets to immerse with nature, de stressing compared to e.g. office jobs with deliverable deadlines staring at a computer screen for 14 hours a day. 2. she has a noble inspiring purpose everyday to get up to save/protect these precious marine wonders
She's a scientist, so she definitely has a ton of computer screen staring to do every day, and a lot tighter deadlines and deliverables than regular office work.
The sad thing is that the friendly types of Manta Rays are going extinct due to them being easily fished by their friendliness and it left the reclusive types of manta rays in the gene pool, in the next 50 years it wouldn't be surprising if we wouldn't be able to interact with them anymore due to all ray with friendly personality has all been fished out. Just like the increase of tuskless elephant population in Africa.
For a marine biologist you seem to not know how to treat the mantas. You should not be touching them with your bare hands. Their entire immune system is contained in a mucus membrane on the outer layer of their skin. Our hands carry a lot of bacteria and chemicals that can eat through that membrane. When she touches their belly it rubs that protective layer off of them and makes them very vulnerable to infection and disease. If anybody has the chance to see a manta ray please respect it’s health and comfort.
If a single touch of the hand was enough to kill a 20ft manta ray, don’t u think they would’ve died off by now? You do realize fish ATTACH themselves to these guys, right? A touch won’t hurt. Heck, a HUG won’t hurt!!
My brother and I go to Hawaii with our parents to see them in the wild. They love the reef. And they love people. They are scary at first, but they are so gentle.
I love this channel so much. Instead of uploading the juiciest gossip, I see passion. There are passions for fishing, swimming with so manta rays, or even making the thinnest pasta! I love this channel and I'm so glad so subbed. Thanks GBS!
I had the amazing experience to interact with a Manta Ray off the Kona Coast in Hawaii. It was at night, in a lighted area. It kept doing summer salts in front of me, within an inch of my body. It did this over and over. The mouth was wide open and I’m sure it was feeding. I couldn’t figure out why it kept banking so close to me. I certainly didn’t mind. It was amazing.
The way they hunt is so funny to me because of how fast they flap They hunt in groups in a specific formation to get a lot of fishes, they make the fish feel calm until NYOOM FURIOUS FLAPPING Theyre like birds i love them
0:12 funny she says that because I remember back in 2016 when the bloodmoon super moon full moon event was happening I saw a boomerang triangle like shape that was huge flew low to the ground pitch black like a shadow or fog, made no noise and was slow, I was so startled by it that I can’t even remember the details like if it had lights or the exact shape I just remember it had a point at the front of it and wings that looked like it flapped and or glided, it messed with my eyes because my first initial thought at the time was is this a dinosaur cause the wings moved but the more I stared at it moving slowly it looked still, like it was gliding, I only remember the feeling it gave me I was scared and seeing manta rays slowly swim above you gives me that exact feeling that the object did that night
You will have to get in touch with Steve Backshaw from the UK. He’s a natural historian an Tv adventure that helps with little known naturalists saving in dangers species that are endangered or new to science. He’s also a bloody great bloke. Thanks for sharing guys Paul 19.25 gmt Uk cheers
Correct me if I'm wrong but touching a manta ray will remove a layer of protective "slime" on their hide. You as a marine biologist would know this but still touch them. Why?
I don't think that's accurate. Most rays love to be petted because it helps combat parasites, lol, its why they're so friendly with people and other fish that'll offer them a fishy cleaning.

The majestic sea Pancake.
The quality and amount of content this channel has is unmatchable
Kalei Kim cnn is putting a lot of money into this channel.

Everything Tech Review this is the firsy time ive seen cnn not be biased asf
"...for asian tonics" god dammit why is it always asian tonics.
XenomorphZZ It's probably China.
Covonuts goddamn Chinese
You know China, their folk medicine requires that an animal be endangered and protected in every other country.
Damn nabit! My people are so retarded for believing that powdered rhino horns somehow cure sickness.
Old stupid habits die the hardest.
I think she has one of the best jobs in the world.
Moontess she does.
that's why im studying marine biology
Sometimes it gets boring
They may be called devilfish, but they're more like the gentle kind blankets of the sea to me.
"Manta" is actually the Spanish word for blanket.
Devilfish? More like Blanketfish
Noah Henderson same
@@suicune690 that's so cute!
Yes. Manta rays and stingrays are very cute to me too.
oH. MY GOD... before I saw the manta and whale sharks swimming together I was literally gonna say those are my two fav marine animals..... im crying I wish I was there!!!!!!
Matthew me too
They have both in they same tank in the Georgia aquarium
@@patriciasanchez9320 Who wants to see those poor creatures locked up in an aquarium? Me not.
Aww the manta ray got some belly scratches 🥺
I always love swimming because it almost looks like flying. And see a Manta “flap its wings” just adds to that thought.
A curse on those who fish/hunt and kill such beautiful and amazing creatures.
what an amazing job, must be so good for the soul.

This channel deserves more subs. They put so much hard work and effort into their videos and it really makes a difference.
Manta rays are so fascinating and the way she describes them makes me wanna cry. Like I crave being near them
You guys got Andrea Marshall? She's a titan when it comes to manta rays, huge fan of the species- thanks for making this video.
I wonder if surfing on manta rays is possible just like in Super Mario Galaxy.
Keith Husain Honestly, if you manage to not slip off, a manta ray will probably let you ride it
You shouldent hold them because that could remove the mucus that protects them from bacteria
@@dcabral2585 that for fish
No, they would sink and be annoyed. And you'd be a bad person. Mario is a bad person.
@@janglur 😂
True true😭

Im going to breed them like how that kid bred laprasus from pokemon and released them in the wild so they dont leave that gene
Heartbreaking.
Long live all the great manta rays, from the reclusive ones to the wonderful and friendly sea-alien dudes.

However true, still a massive exaggeration
Im happy that I subbed to this channel

Amazing animals, i hope scientists can protect them for the many threats.
One of the best trips I ever had in the Caribbean was the manta ray habitat. It was truly beautiful.

They want to be recognized and loved that is so cool
Floofy huggable sea blankets. 🌊
“It hoomans! Henlo hoomans!” -Majestic Sea Flap Flap
Everybody loves floofy sea flap flaps. 😋
they are the gentle giants
So majestic, I'm going to start diving soon and this is what I'm looking forward to most.
You are not petting a manta ray, you are petting a undersea ufo.
Mantine ♡
Ooh lah! I love it ah! They're oh so awesome, sweet a lot a lot and talented as always ah!🌊🌊🌊🌊💗💗💗💗

Save these beautiful creatures
Imagine Sir David Attenborough saying: "ahhhh, and here, we have the majestic giant sea blanket"
This is one of the reasons why I’m going to become a marine biologist
beautiful ocean and calm fishes
So beautiful, thank you for this piece.
I can't go scuba diving because I have a problem with my heart but I wish I could now
Just saw one for the very first time it jumped out of water while I was fishing yesterday. I still can't over of how huge it was
Fun fact: when they jump out of water to run from a predator,shake off parasites or just do it for fun
'Andrea - Queen of Mantas' a documentary about Andrea and her studies on Manta Rays!
I once encountered one at the beach one time. It freaked me out at first cause it was massive and swam over me lol. It was very cool!
is this a weighted blanket
Such beautiful creatures! I hope to see one up close one day.
I'm scared to learn what will have to all the beautiful species on this planet in the future. The human race can be so scary.
THAT HAS TO B THEE ULTIMATE JOB❤❤❤❤❤😊😊😊😊😊..

I wonder if the sharp decline was because people were mistaking them for Mantines.
A lovely pokemon reference I don't think many will get.
Who taught you how to dive? Keep your hands off all marine life!
F L A T B O Y E S
Moana's granny! 😭😭😭
Nice job man
Top of bucket list always:... to swim with
Mantas.
My favorite animal
Why couldn't it be Manta rays Steve was filming. 😢😢
Shiuld i breed manta rays since they are vunerable to becoming endangered
They look so squishy I wanna cuddle with them 🥰
Same I wanna hug and protect 🥺
Me too
This comment makes me want to get a hug from Big Man of Deep Cut of Splatoon 3!
What an amazing creature...!!! :DDDDD
Plus, great music on the background...Does anyone know the titles?
I want that lady's job, I've always loved manta rays and I would love to do what she does.
Let’s name the zones, the zones, the zones. Let’s name the zones of big blue sea!
early for once! This is so beautiful
☆They're so beautiful☆
Can I go with you please!!! What an incredible job to have.
What a majestic sea flap flap.

Manta rays ❤
1:57 I was like holy shit those shar- Oh thank god.
Cute and amazing
omg!!! I just read an ACT english test about Marshall's research
I love you, water pancake.
Manta Rays have the largest brains of any fish.
Excellent work
I love these sea pancakes
I always called them floating pancakes lol
Manta rays are my favorite animals so im debating if i should breed and release them in the wild
These peaceful pancakes are so adorbs
I ❤ rays
That's a "Great Big Story"!
Manta Rays were my favorite animals growing up. I remember crying seeing them get killed for medicine.
When you know it has a pointed face you know it's the friendly one
Asian tonics? Man, if the "traditional medicine" market stopped overnight, imagine how many species would be able to recover...
Brown Himalayan bears, manta rays, wolves. A lot of them
"WE FOUND THE MANTAS!"
Amazing
where do they get money to explore and study??
If I had discovered a manta ray I would have called it a pancake fish
Leave it to humans to be the reason that these beautiful creatures are literally disappearing ....
That's a lot of footage of 2% of a population. I'd think they'd be damn near impossible to find at those numbers
Anybody knows soundtracks?
Nice.
I WILL STILL CALL THEM SEA PANCAKES
SEA PANCAKE
yyyyyyyyyyeeeeeeeeeeeppppppppppp iiiiiiiiii aaaaaaaaaaagggggggggggrrrrrrrrrrreeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
awesome
"You dont have to fear"

Sting rays killed steve irwin not manta rays

If their hides are anything like my skin, it’ll regenerate in about 5 mins
The most friendliest creatures on earth are manta rays and octopuses
Ima shark
Helicorpion :D ima doge
lol we now a decimal of the ocean
I want to dance next to Manta rays.
I get that Moana scene now
fuck yeah I've never been first for anything lol
Jesse Renee You're not
Why are you touching the rays? Pretty sure that you're damaging their mucous/protective layer
