Afarenis has mentioned the birth of a manta ray (Manta birostris) at the Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium in Japan - notable because this is the first captive birth for the species. Below the fold is video of the birth.
Cool! I looked for it when I first published the post but it wasn't available yet.
I had the good fortune of seeing some of these while diving the Great Barrier Reef the other week. Had one a couple of meters from me for perhaps 5 minutes while it was getting cleaned. Beutiful creatures.
