Underwater Alien Bases Explained: Claude Also Has Minions

That was pretty cool. Makes me wonder if, in a few hundred or a few thousand years, they will be capable of sustained flight. Maybe this is one of the early stages of an evolutionary change.

Some suggest Devil Rays have been around in their "modern form" for maybe 20-25 million years already.

The fossil records suggest that devil rays have been around in their modern form for at least 20–25 million years. True manta rays first appeared in the fossil record approximately 4.8 million years ago.

10 things you never knew about manta rays | Discover Wildlife

Most date Cartilaginous Elasmobranch fish back 400 million years or more. This site says the Blanket Ray has been around 160 million years.

http://www.mantatrust.org/wp-content...ation-2012.pdf

They have actually dated Manta Ray teeth proving that they have been swimming in the oceans for at least 5 million years.

The manta rays’ ancestor is the sting ray (rays evolved from sharks approximately 170 million years ago) but they have adapted to look and behave quite differently.

http://www.aquaticalliance.org/Manta/manta.html

Chondrichthyes

A Bayesian analysis of molecular data suggests that the Holocephali and Elasmoblanchii diverged in the Silurian (421 million years ago) and that the sharks and rays/skates split in the Carboniferous (306 million years ago).

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chondrichthyes

Carboniferous

The Carboniferous is a geologic period and system that extends from the end of the Devonian Period, about 358.9 ± 0.4 million years ago, to the beginning of the Permian Period, about 298.9 ± 0.15 Ma. The name Carboniferous means "coal-bearing" and derives from the Latin words carbō (“coal”) and ferō (“I bear, I carry”), and was coined by geologists William Conybeare and William Phillips in 1822

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carboniferous

Anyway, rays have been swimming around in our oceans for a very long time.

  Not very. I think it started back in the 70's or 80's when that ship sank with all those textbooks on Darwin and copies of "Johnathan Livingston Seagull" aboard.

I had no idea that Manta's flash mobbed, or came out of the water.
Belly flops must be cool in their culture.

They also go to "cleaning stations".
Cleaning station - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Wiki says groups of 50 are typical. I wonder if this has something to do with breeding.
Kind of like salmon.

As for evolution, it's a possibility. Based upon jaw bone shapes, they believe
wolves come from whales.

And Whitacres come from Sea Lions. True fact: you can make a Whitacre perform tricks by offering it fish...or any food, really. You can actually train a Whitacre to wash your car by offering it Little Debbie snack cakes.

We actually evolved from Sperm Whales. In fact, years ago, Sperm Whale was my porn name.

Now they just call me Whale. I'm sad.

I can think of dozens of punch lines for this, most of them involving Claude and "blow hole", but none are approriate for a public forum.

Yes, this is getting confusing, only a day or so ago Claude clearly indicated he was a Chimp, he was previously assumed to be a donkey. now he is a whale.

Ive had discussions with him about owning some of his porn videos when he was Claude Cucumber. (Ron Jeremy's body double and the distinctive bunny shaped birthmark was undeniable proof)

So who is this guy really? a shape shifting alien!

They used to call me "Q". Not because I was like James Bond...but because I looked like a "Q" from the side. Now....in the twilight of my career...I look more like an "O".

Claude Cucumber! That's pretty good!

Oh come on, you little liar. Not the porn name. It was your stage name in dohyō when you were active in Sumo wrestling. Can you reveal how you were able to defeat all your opponents?

That was my question. Everyone's first reaction is "My, how happy they look".

Maybe, or they are trying to get away from something. Or the water salinity or temperature is different. Or maybe a predator is herding them toward the surface of the water.. Or the electromagnetic lines are confusing to them. Maybe they are in unfamiliar territory, and they are panicking.

Flying fish will fly in the air, but they are generally being herded and they are trying to escape.

Steve Erwin, I think. Yeah, he picked the wrong stingray.

Manta Rays are fish. Maybe it's a mating dance, or a territorial display.

Thanks

Mobula Rays (devil rays) have been known to school and are often referred to as "flying rays" and "flying mobula". They are well known breachers...

Pelicans and Flying Rays (Narrated by David...

Steve Irwin was killed by a Sting Ray which is slightly different than a Manta Ray or a Mobula Ray. Of the Mobulas, only the Spinetail Mobula has a stinger.
