They don't have stingers and they have like a radar (marine biology people can use the actual word to describe it - radar will get you laughed at) so they can come right up to you but not actually touch you (unless they want to). They're incredible!!! Nothing to be scared of - and they don't like sharks so if there are mantas, there aren't sharks (this of course could also be wrong so don't take that as a fact...)<br />Lydia C.
