Portuguese scientist investigates giant manta ray reproduction in Mexico

TVI Notícias7 September 2026 at 21:07

A Portuguese marine biologist named Madalena Cabral is investigating giant manta ray reproduction in Mexico. This is a species that is in danger of extinction.

Scientists have developed various study techniques to analyze these animals, including an underwater ultrasound. This ultrasound is performed by divers without the animals being disturbed.

The main objective of this research is to understand where giant manta rays go to give birth, that is, to identify the birthing grounds of this threatened species.

The "chemistry" we feel is thus the result of a complex combination of factors that explain why patterns are repeated throughout each person's relational life.
