The manta ray has two gigantic fins on either side of its head. They resemble large, soft paddles and are used to channel food directly into its wide mouth      The manta has no teeth-- its food is sucked, along with water, into its gill arches which act as a filter      The manta's filtration system is used for feeding as well as respiration      The span of the manta's winglike fins can reach 22 ft. The wingspan of a Piper Cherokee plane is only slightly longer at 26 ft      Mantas eat mainly shrimp and plankton; occasionally small fish, such as mullet
