Sidewalk Manta Ray





Last week, a Manta Ray mysteriously appeared on a San Francisco sidewalk. (My worst fears have been realized! They're making the move to land!) Read more here.

On the one hand, this is the sort of crazy story that makes life interesting. On the other hand, people must stop messing with manta rays and painting pigeons purple! People who are cruel to helpless. animals are the lowest form of life!

PS: Let's not get too worked up about cheerleaders, OK?

COOL! i mean, ya know, poor little thing, but it would still be kinda cool to find it-in a heartbreaking kinda way. that reminds me about when i was in the keys, driving back to miami, we stopped on a bridge to look down in the water to see some cool fish and there was about a million and one little fish in a huge school that looked like seaweed until we realized it was fish, and there was alot of knife fish, and a couple crabs ( i hate those little buggers) and then there was this HUGE manta ray swimming a little ways out. it was awesome!

Perhaps it fell from the sky.

=D yes, but if you had an already-deceased manta ray for whom nothing could be done, you might as well use its remains to make life more interesting for everybody. ^^

I would paint pigeons purple if I had nontoxic pigeon-safe paint.

Maybe it sort of flip-flopped from some water.XD

If I haden't known about Australian Steve Irwin's (Crocodile Hunter) death caused by a stingray, maybe I would like stingrays... But right now they seem evil, to me.

i'm just catching up on your blog, i love manta rays, and this makes me so sad. when we were in hawaii we swam with the manta rays...at night. it was so incredible. they're 14 feet tall!
