Description: The manta ray is a giant of the deep, with fearsome-looking horn-shaped cephalic fins around its mouth, which once saw this creature named the 'devil fish.' Sailors feared them and believed these alien-looking apparitions were capable of sinking boats by pulling down their anchors. But despite their strange appearance and the demonic connotations of their name, these winged chondrichthyans are entirely harmless, living exclusively off plankton - like many of the biggest creatures of the world's oceans, they live off the smallest. The patterning on the back of a manta ray is unique to that animal, and those painted here are all based off real manta rays currently swimming the world's oceans.
