Chilean devil ray, endangered, Azores, Portugal
Magnus Lundgren says: ‘A large group of Chilean devil rays, all with a wingspan up to four metres, socialise at Princess Alice seamount in the late summer. They are among the deepest divers in the ocean, reaching at least 1,800 metres (6,000ft). All mobula rays are under serious threat and, as if climate change and the fishing industry were not enough, the mobula’s gill rakers are sold and marketed for false “healing” reasons, putting them at an even greater danger of disappearing.’
