This ray is frequently seen in a shoal, from two to a few hundred.
It can also be seen jumping out of the sea water.
There are 9 different species of mobula rays, which are differentiated by details or by their geographical area. However, it is difficult to define these because the species are very similar.
The kakihona sushi (sushi wrapped in persimmon leaves) are really the best!
To eat them, you have to go to Nara!
The tiger shark has slender marks similars to the lines of tigers, hence its name.
When it is juvenile, these marks are round and not vertical. They change when it grows.
We can hear the bull shark is very dangerous because of attacks near La Réunion island.
However, tens of them are living at 600 feet from the famous beach of Playa Del Carmen in Mexico. And there are no attacks.
