Rare Oceanic Manta Sighted Near Long Island
An oceanic manta ray was recently sighted feeding near Jones Beach State Park off Long Island, marking a rare occurrence as these tropical species are not commonly seen in New York waters. The marine animal, the largest species of ray in the world, can weigh over 4,000 pounds and live up to 40 years, but it poses no threat to humans. The sighting was confirmed by the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation during warm summer months.
