A School of Rays Can Drown You – Be Careful If You Dive in Deep Water!

When a person thinks of the deep sea, he often thinks of something dark and mysterious. But it’s important to remember that even the smallest sea creatures can cause a lot of damage to a mere human. After all, everything in the ocean is in its natural environment–it can breath underwater and is used to surviving all the ocean dangers.

You never know the true power of the sea until you dive deep into it. Just take a look at this wild video of a massive school of mobula rays recorded off the coast of Baja California.

There are literally tens of thousands of rays swimming and flying through the air–quite possibly the largest school ever filmed. A human would probably not survive if they were somehow caught up in this massive group of sea creatures!
