"The Flying Mobulas of the Sea of Cortez"

This is very cool. DQ reader Brian Pilnick sends a link about acrobatic mobulas (they look like rays) in the Sea of Cortez. These mobulas, for unknown reasons, will burst out of the water, flap their wings, somersault once or twice, and tumble back into the sea. It's bizarre and still hasn't been explained. No video with the link, but there are some fantastic pictures:
