It’s tough not to get excited when you see (and video) a manta mating train; part of the manta mating ritual, since “courtship rituals and actual mating events are relatively infrequently observed…”.[2] As you can imagine, when we caught this on our GoPro we were ecstatic. To be truthful, while we weren’t certain what we were watching, we were awestruck!

To learn more about these amazing animals, their habitats, mating ritual and #funfacts read the entire article on Scubaboard at Manta Mating Train – Mating Ritual in Komodo or for additional underwater videos visit our YouTube channel at Adelaar Cruises
