4. Where did this happen?

Was it in the wild or at an aquarium?

7. At The Atlantis Aquarium In Riverhead NY. The Manta Ray Pool Is Only

knee high so you can reach over to pet them.

They come right up to you, poke their heads out of the water and wait to be petted.

when they swim through the water flapping their 'wings'.

human contact.. least the ones in the aquarium do.
