Manta rays are very adorable marine animals that can leave anyone with their mouths open.
They do not usually behave aggressively and differ from other very similar species in that they do not have a poisonous sting on their tail.
Rays feed on small fish and squid. Recently, a video filmed in the Canary Islands in Spain amazed many people.
In the footage of the video, you can clearly see how a stingray followed the call of a child and the most surprising thing is that he does it every day.
It seems that a wonderful friendship has been formed between them. Many marine animals tend to go to the same port.
This is the place where fish that are not selected for trade are thrown out and returned to the sea.
For many marine animals, this means a huge amount of food, so they cautiously approach the port to enjoy a good feast.
The boy is the son of a fisherman and accompanied his father to work from a young age.
This helped him understand the wonders of nature and get along very well with animals.
The little boy loves to take the fish to call his big stingray. He called it with little whistles and moved the water to indicate the area where it was.
After a few minutes, the stingray responded to the call and prepared to eat the delicious treat. The boy seemed to have become so used to the stingray that he even petted it a little.
The video worried some Internet users about the danger this could pose to the child.
He is there with his father and it seems that they know the animal perfectly. They are not pets.
You can’t treat him like a dog. You risk an accident,” commented one of the users.
Others saw in the images a great example that friendship is possible regardless of the species.
There is no doubt that the world would be a better place if we treated all animals with a little more affection and respect.
This is a great example. “We have to take care of our animals and our planet,” said one user on the networks.
If you are near an animal like the stingray, the safest thing to do is to leave it alone or contact an expert.
This little boy has the vigilance of his parents, who are fishermen and have known the animals of the area for a long time.
However, it has happened on more than one occasion that people have hurt or injured certain animals because they tried to take a photo with them or feed them without really knowing about it.
