Cyclone feeding is a group foraging behaviour of Manta rays whereby the Mantas move in a vortex like pattern as it is the most efficient way to eat such a density of plankton.

CYCLONE FEEDING

Cyclone feeding is a group foraging behaviour of Manta rays whereby the Mantas move in a vortex like pattern as it is the most efficient way to eat such a density of plankton. This is a very rare foraging activity and has only been observed around Kokomo in Fiji. Cyclone feeding can reach up to hundreds in other parts of the world.
