Two manta rays were filmed engaged in a mating dance in this enchanting video caught off the coast of Mexico.

These events are rarely seen or filmed, and this video from August 6 shows the female leading while the male follows her and attempts to mate.

The filmer commented: "Male manta rays are thought to normally bite onto the left wingtip of the female and go belly-to-belly for copulation, but this male had his own style."
