THIS IS AMAZING NEWS!!! The Marine Biologists at Manta Trust confirmed that what we saw today was NOT manta rays, but their close cousins — Mobula tarapacana. Even more incredible: this was the first recorded mating train of this species in French Polynesia, and only the 5th ever documented worldwide! These mobula are seen in the Tuamotus, but in the open ocean. The first two mobulas were females and the second one was pregnant, followed by two males actively chasing them — behavior very similar to manta mating. A rare and thrilling encounter we’ll never forget!
