Flying Mobulas Invite Questions

On Mexico's Eastern shore, in the Sea of Cortez, there lurk four species of mobulas (tarapacana, thurstoni, munkiana, and japanica) - relatives of manta rays. These mobulas don't seem to be sure whether they are sea creatures or creatures of the air as they often make spectacular jumps into the air!

Scientists are unsure why the mobulas take to the air. Are they playing? Are they practicing their underwater hunting moves? I think, they are just like man...they long to stretch their 'wings' and fly.
