Cool stuff.

Awesome. Shared that article with the hubby.

Actually, a very moving article by a man who is in love with life. I was struck by his sketches of the people he encounters, as well as his concern for the mobulas and the health of the Sea of Cortez.

Thanks, Ace.

Well, I know it's confusing, but it was dr. reo symes.

I've seen that 4 times in the 10 years I've spent in Mexico. I'm on the Caribbean side where it's not as common but I spend a lot of time out on the water. It's one of the most amazing things I've ever seen. Pictures do not do it justice.

:barf:

Sorry, I hate Hallmark greeting card sentiments like that. But I do love manta rays. It's a fish, and it's a ready-to-wear rain cape!

Ace:

You are showing Karl Rowe's next secret weapon project. Do you want him to activiate your pain collar?

Very interesting - I've never heard of these creatures leaping out of the water. Actually, for a moment there I thought you were going to fisk this earnest scientific article, the way you did with that completely innocent archeology article a few months ago.

All hail Zontar!

I for one welcome our new mobula overlords.

Me too.

Mantas are sexy. I don't mean sexy like I'd like to pork one. I mean sexy like a sleek car. A sleek car that I'd like to pork.

Mobula = 'Attack Class' Manta.

Stock up on tridents, people. The great man - fish war is finally coming. Don't think it's not.

I love mobulas! They taste like bald eagle.

Agreed. This flying through the air isn't "playfulness", oh no.

They are probing our defenses, looking for weaknesses.

Dave,

You probably shouldn't say 'probe' in the same sentence you refer to mobula when Ace is around if you catch my drift...

good point.
