The lesser devil ray, ''Mobula hypostoma'', is an eagle ray in the genus ''Mobula''. They occur along the coasts of the western Atlantic, from North Carolina to northern Argentina. These rays live in shallow waters and can be found singly or in large shoals. They feed on crustaceans mostly, but will sometimes feed on shoals of smaller fish. Lesser devil rays are relatively small, with a maximum width of about . They have smaller cephalic fins than their larger manta cousins and have longer spineless tails. The lesser devil ray has tasty flesh to some and can be a source of oil. They are known to swim at very high speeds and leap out of the water, often a great distance. ==References== * * * 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Lesser devil ray」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
