Baby Manta Ray Alerts Diver That His Mom is Trapped, He Frees Her, and She Invites Him to Watch a Beautiful Manta Mating Ritual Rarely Seen Before (Video)

Personally, you will never catch us in scuba gear. Something about being underwater for that long just gives us the heebie-jeebies. But, that doesn't mean that we don't love looking at videos of people having grand adventures under the sea. Today, we have quite the unique story for you, one involving a creature that doesn't get a lot of love - the manta ray. One baby manta ray noticed a diver nearby and dove up to get his attention. He lead the diver to his mother, who was caught in a rope and unable to get out.

Sensing his kindness, the momma manta ray let the diver get close to her, and even worked with him in an effort to free herself. Talk about teamwork! Afterward, she invited the diver to see a beautiful manta ray ritual that is rarely ever captured on camera. Scroll to see the heartwarming animal rescue video below, you won't regret it!

That is some serious air time for a tiny manta ray! We knew these guys had ups, but we didn't know it was to this extent. He's not just popping up to say hello, this time it was a cry for help.

Stop using plastic, people. Our oceans are littered with trash and it's not cool. Use reusable bags, buy in bulk, and don't put everything in a plastic bag. Our ocean friends will thank you later!
