Young toddlers frequently make unusual friend choices. Some even have imagined companions. But not the young man in this video. His special pal is a kind, massive manta ray.
His unique bond with the massive sea creature was captured on camera at a Canary Island wharf. This beautiful subtropical archipelago is located to the northwest of Africa, and visitors may expect to observe a plethora of rays and fish in the coastal waters.
Rays congregate routinely around this set of stone stairs at the waterfront, where local fishermen discard their rejects and scraps every day. Many aquatic species in the area have learned to rely on the delectable scraps for a free supper.
