DESCRIPTION & HISTORY
During our first encounter, we estimated that this manta was roughly 2.2 metres in width, from wing-tip to wing-tip. Based on her size and the lack of mating scars on her left pectoral fin, we class this manta as a juvenile.
She has a long tail, and some small notches on both her pectoral fins, likely caused by fishing lines.
