Does anyone know why they jump out of the water? Catching food? Mating ritual? |

Scientists really don't know... Some of the current theories: They may do it to escape a potential predator Part of a courtship display To rid themselves of skin parasites Possibly a kind of play...

When we were at Discovery Cove, we got to swim with rays and skates. It was SO cool. The skates came right up out of the water many times - and it honestly did seem like they were "playing" with the people in the water when they did so. It was awesome! |

I'm sorry I can't help myself. The one leaping out of the water looks exactly like a Chinese Fortune Cookie. The others in the water look like a mass of Ravioli being cooked. It may be time for my nap. |

Dol: That sounds awesome!! I love rays... They are so graceful, the way they move through the water, and their skin is like velvet.
