Is a manta ray an endangered species?

Answer 1

No, but probably only because we know so very little about them and how many there are out there. Here's a link all about them and the info you want is at the bottom of the page

Answer 2

A threatened species is right before endangered. The government starts to look into conservation of a particular species when they become threatened. However, endangered species are those that are close to being completely gone. They are the ones that the government that is really concerned about and are trying to bring back. Don't get me wrong they are concerned about both but they have more of a chance at helping threatened than endangered species.

Answer 3

the Giant Manta Ray is on the IUCN RedList Status (threatened, ndangered...) However I do not believe this is the species you have. (even so, one of the two true manta's get very large)

According to the World Conservation Union (IUCN). However, this species is listed as "Vulnerable" in the Gulf of California, off the west coast of Mexico, and in the South China and Sulu Seas. The IUCN is a global union of states, governmental agencies, and non-governmental organizations in a partnership that assesses the conservation status of species. Currently, there is a lack of scientific data to properly assess the species' conservation status. However, in locations where there are fisheries, the manta suffers decline in population because of their slow reproductive rate.
