[1913 Webster]


manta ray \manta ray\ n.
An extremely large pelagic tropical ray of the family
{Mobulidae}, that feeds on plankton and small fishes. It is
usually harmless but its size (up to 20 feet across and up to
a ton in weight) make it dangerous if harpooned. Called also
{manta}, {sea devil} and {devilfish}. See also {Cephaloptera}
and {Sea devil}.

One of the generic names of the gigantic ray ({Manta
birostris}) of the family {Mobulidae}, known as {devilfish},
{sea devil}, {manta} and {manta ray}. It is common on the
coasts of South Carolina, Florida, and farther south, and is
sometimes found as far north as New York Bay. Some of them
