Dozens of bat rays acting as a fever (a fever is the name given to a group of bat rays) were captured on camera in the Monterey Bay.
The video shows dozens of rays congregating together in the bay near Aptos. Eric Mailander captured the video. (Watch the video above)
A group of rays is a common sight near Baja, Mexico, or Australia, but according to the Monterey Bay Aquarium, the ocean-dwelling creatures are also common in the Monterey Bay.
"Several bays and wetland areas along the California and Pacific Coast of Baja, including nearby Elkhorn Slough, are important nursery and feeding grounds for bat rays," the aquarium reports on its website.
Does Southside Johnny know about this group of rays?
