Cory Doctorow: Michael Albert took these remarkable photos of mobulas — a kind of ray, related to manta rays — “breaching” in the Sea of Cortez. That is, zooming up to the surface and momentarily taking wing like a dolphin leaping out of the water.
(Comment: We went scuba diving in the Sea of Cortez a few years back but did not see anything like this. Our dive ship was boarded by the Mexican Navy and a storm at sea churned up so much crud in the water that the visibility was only 8 feet. That’s right, 8 feet. It is not a typo. So, perhaps no rays were flying that day. — :-{ Cyndi)
