In this study, 122 devil rays individuals were observed circling in a "courtship vortex"—the first time this behavior has ever been seen during mating. For five hours, this vortex of animals swirled as courtship groups joined and exited the formation.

I finished my first digital species illustration yesterday! So here's Mobula munkiana (pygmy devil ray/Munk's devil ray)
They live in the eastern pacific from the gulf of california in mexico down to peru. They are filter feeders and are known to go into groups by the thousands probably for mating. They're really cool looking, hope ya enjoy!
Well this experience was certainly one to remember; while snorkeling at the ocean surface near a reef I looked down to see a school of hundreds of mobula rays! These animals are commonly called "Devil rays" due to the distinctive horn-like cephalic fins on their head. While nearly every other species of mobula rays lacks a usable tail stinger, I believe these are Mobula mobular (the only mobula species with a free stinger), and I made sure to keep a respectful distance as I observed their flight. These rays are at great risk of fishery bycatch, and their populations are slow to recover as they only produce one pup every 1-3 years. They have been listed as endangered since 2006.
Creature concept: Devil rays.
In the manta ray family, there is a species of ray called devil rays and, with this creature concept, I'm taking it literally. This and another creature will be part of a larger project later on but this is a concept. The colors will be based on underwater volcanoes to go with its devilish appearance.
