I found Lefty, the famous Manta Ray, elusive by day

She kicks off our underwater video compilation (thanks for the footage Erik!). I am half her width.

Lefty was first identified 36 years ago!. Her wingspan is approx. 13 feet (14′ according to our boat captain).

“Lefty is one of the most famous Manta Rays. She is easily identified by her paralyzed left cephalic fin. When she is feeding her fin usually flops below or directly into her mouth. When she is not feeding and her cephalic fins are rolled up, her left fin points inward at a right angle instead of straight out in front of her.”
