Georgia Aquarium Welcomes Manta Ray

Georgia Aquarium Welcomes Manta Ray

[@knghtcmdr]

Gosh, I can't look at anything without someone crying about captivity can I?

[@moekitsune]

+knghtcmdr No, you cant.

[@discodarth]

That was the only Manta Ray to truly achieve flight, even if it was only in a freighter airplane :D

[@weagle2323]

I'm randomly here in the year 2019

[@thepoopygirl]

I drove from New Orleans to Atlanta for my Spring Break just to see the Aquarium. It was an incredible experience, and I actually cried from excessive joy while at the ocean voyager exhibit. Thank you so much for helping others appreciate the beauty of the ocean.

[@dilldoer9142]

What are you, gay?

[@AlpacaButts]

Very cool to see how they move the animals to the aquarium!

[@bethulie13]

Excellent, I thought I recognised the name and place. Thanks for letting me know. You guys are lucky to experience the sea life so upclose. Well done!

[@SadinaSaphrite]

That's amazing! *laugh* Best thing I've heard all day!

[@frozenmouse76]

that is amazing what are the dimensions of the main pool it looks huge , and how on earth do you get a piece of glass big enough and strong enough to withstand that type of pressure ,

[@MantaRaysFanatic]

It’s Nandi. So is so cute!

[@bethulie13]

Brilliant stuff, Manta rays are magnificent. Where did they get the Manta ray from, was it Shaka sea worl in Durban South Africa???

[@gecco01]

See Video-Answer - thats how Mantas should be watched!

[@oohlahlahah2167]

[@nmastai]

[@1uhot426]

[@animythfameEm]

.19 seconds hahha that is adorable it looked like it was dancong (im obssesed with manta rays)

[@SallyAlbatross]

This is very interesting footage

[@korgmatose1]

@GeorgiaAquarium Moving a whale shark sounds to be quite a task.

[@k2stevethomas]

Go to the aquarium website and click on the web-cams and select the ocean exhibit camera and you can get a small glimpse of her if you watch long enough. Not the best quality, but I still laugh everytime she swims in view!!!

[@nooloo3000]

i love manta rays to death but one qustion how are you going to manage it when it gets to big and heavy for hte tank

[@leandro5537]

i have a and question and hope to get an answer..... is this how they brought the whale sharks over? please answer i really want to know.

[@wcatdoor]

i thought manta rays were small.... or at least smaller than that..

[@snerjeck]

Are they pretty intelligent? I always wanted to be a marine biologist but I ended up as an electrical engineer.

[@UnsociableZombieFoxx]

I hope hes not going to be lonely..how will he ever find a girlfriend now :( You should bring him a lady and let him make little rays. They'd be oh so cuuuttttte

[@NonmetalAlkali]

how much did this ray weigh?

[@Act8killer]

lol, i think they were using fed ex

[@AtitAmin]

@GeorgiaAquarium Do you have a video of that

[@AxelDeep]

im shocked they made it alive being shipped ups

[@SnappyPenguin566]

@GeorgiaAquarium Only With MUCH Larger Equipment, Is It Hard?

[@JordoF6]

@UnsociableZombieFoxx fish dont get lonely there fish

[@9715049]

@leandro5537 not acully dude they brought it over in a easier way not exactly like this beside they carried like 7 baby ones then they grew in 2 months and the weight was only 1 ton but they carried 2 at a time traveling by 2 plans fyi how i know this because i have a friend that works at georgia aqurium and i went to the aqurium that they got it from

[@rock5250]

QUESTIONNN!!!!!! where do you get the fish? do you catch them in the wild? are they bred? where can i find a manta ray breeder?

[@nooloo3000]

@GeorgiaAquarium now when the manta ray gets to big how do you capture it and set it free must be a challenge

[@kelvin441997]

I'v got 1 very important question! Where do they get the rays?

[@ctosdas5563]

An abusive aquarium in south africa

[@nooloo3000]

@DarkFatalisBoy but how do you get them out

[@opusmag1]

Am I supposed to hate it or applaud it? The perfect word would be, ambivalent.

[@1981Silkwater]

I personally think this is wrong, captivity is NOT cool I dont care how good you take care of your marine life. I think its crule to take something out of its natural habitat, its their home, Besides I personally think its more beutiful when they're in their natural place plus they have an even longer life span because their happier.

Jaimie Stone BUT.they don’t need to worry
