| Mobula rays are found in tropical oceans worldwide, typically near offshore islands. They are often mistaken for manta rays (Manta birostris) but mobulas are considerably smaller, reaching sizes to 12' from wing tip to wing tip. Like manta rays, mobula are often accompanied by remoras. These photographs were taken at Isla del Coco, a small Pacific island owned by Costa Rica that is known for sightings of large pelagic marine animals and enormous schools of fish. | ||
