And another species that's trying to follow the dolphins. So long, and thanks for all the fish.

I remember reading a book where manta rays evolved the ability to fly. Can't think of the title. Good story.

The first one jumped, and instantly the Batman theme started playing in my head, and now it won't stop as the rest followed.

Don't they do this to escape a shark or something chasing them?

It happens before a feeding frenzy so the theory is they do it to signal to other manta rays that there's food in the area.

No. The exact reason isn't fully known, but it's probably some kind of social thing, as they aggregate when doing it.

Like beautiful alien bats. Why do they do it? Is it just "fun" like us taking a dip? Or is there clearly some other reason?

They don't. Not manta rays anyway. Mobula rays are they? Think that's what they are called....
