![]() While for the oceanic manta ray, the dorsal surface is deep dark and the two white areas are well marked without gradient effect. ![]() The reef manta ray has a dark dorsal side with usually two lighter areas on top of the head, looking like a nuanced gradient of its dark dominating back coloration and whitish to greyish, the longitudinal separation between these two lighter areas forms a kind of "Y". Only the colour pattern remains an effective way to distinguish them. However, if the observed rays are young, their size can easily bring confusion. The oceanic manta ray is larger than the reef manta ray, 4 to 5 metres in average against 3 to 3.5 metres. Physical distinctions between oceanic manta ray and reef manta ray Front of a reef manta ray (i) Mobula alfredi) with closed mouth, Raja Ampat, West Papua, Indonesia. However, there are distinguishing features. Mobula birostris is similar in appearance to Mobula alfredi and the two species may be confused as their distribution overlaps. The markings can often be used to recognise individual fish. The ventral surface is white, sometimes with dark spots and blotches. The colouring of the dorsal (upper) surface is black, dark brown, or steely blue, sometimes with a few pale spots and usually with a pale edge. The skin is smooth with a scattering of conical and ridge-shaped tubercles. The manta ray does not have a spiny tail as do the closely related devil rays ( Mobula spp.) but has a knob-like bulge at the base of its tail. It has a small dorsal fin and the tail is long and whip-like. The eyes and the spiracles are on the side of the head behind the cephalic fins, and the gill slits are on the ventral (under) surface. The teeth are in a band of 18 rows and are restricted to the central part of the lower jaw. These can be rolled up in a spiral for swimming or can be flared out to channel water into the large, forward-pointing, rectangular mouth when the animal is feeding. It is dorsoventrally flattened and has large, triangular pectoral fins on either side of the disc.Īt the front, it has a pair of cephalic fins which are forward extensions of the pectoral fins. The giant oceanic manta ray can grow up to 9 m (30 ft) in maximum length and to a disc size of 7 m (23 ft) across with a weight of about 3,000 kg (6,600 lb) but average size commonly observed is 4.5 m (15 ft). ![]() birostris with unfolded cephalic fins (, Thailand) birostris with rolled up cephalic fins and characteristic dorsal coloration (, Thailand) Side view of M. As a result, the giant manta was renamed as Mobula birostris to reflect the new classification. DNA testing revealed that both species are more closely related to rays of the genus Mobula than previously thought. Until 2017, the species was classified in the genus Manta, along with the smaller reef manta ray ( Mobula alfredi). It is circumglobal and is typically found in tropical and subtropical waters, but can also be found in temperate waters. ![]() The giant oceanic manta ray, giant manta ray, or oceanic manta ray ( Mobula birostris) is a species of ray in the family Mobulidae, and the largest type of ray in the world.

The Dixie Fire covered almost 1 million acres in California. For example, over the past two years, they scorched an area larger than the total area of New Jersey and Vermont. In recent years, wildfires have become more intense. Table source: Insurance Information Institute ![]() Additionally, climate change contributed to the fact that the land and plants become even drier than usual and thus more favorable for a fire to spread. Combined with the dry weather, this vegetation acts as fuel for a fire. Plants growing in this region consist of dry grass, shrubs, and pine needles, which are very easy to ignite. Because of its Mediterranean climate, the state is dry most of the year, with rains falling only in winter, which is followed by dry and hot summers. ![]() The Dixie Fire affected five counties in the state - Butte, Lassen, Plumas, Shasta, and Tehama.Īccording to statistics, California is the most wildfire-prone state in the U.S., mostly due to natural factors.

Summary: Jock itch, or tinea cruris (ringworm of the groin) in Latin, is a fungal infection that thrives in areas of the body that are moist and sweaty. The real culprit behind jock itch is often the exact same fungus, which is even responsible for causing another similar condition called 'athlete's foot.' Jock itch infections typically start at the feet and then spread to the groin area through contact with contaminated hands or towels (or some other object). Moreover, the infection can be passed from person to person or by sharing contaminated (or used) towels or clothing. In most cases, the predominant or main cause of this kind of infection is excessive sweating. ![]() Jock itch is most commonly caused by a fungus that grows in moist, warm areas. This is not a serious infection and is easily treated with local antifungal medications in most cases. It basically develops just below the waistline, usually around the groin and inner thighs. Summary: Jock itch is a common fungal infection that can affect the groin area and inner thighs of both men and women. Moreover, if you are experiencing severe symptoms or the condition doesn't improve even after a couple of weeks, it's best to see a doctor or get medical help as soon as possible. In addition to keeping the area clean, you might also need to apply topical antifungal medications to the affected skin in order to kill the fungus and prevent the infection from spreading. ![]() This means that you should shower regularly and avoid wearing any kind of tight-fitting clothing that doesn't allow your skin to breathe. In order to treat and cure jock itch, it is important to keep the groin area clean and dry at all times. The fungus that causes jock itch grows most comfortably in warm, moist environments, making these individuals more susceptible to developing the condition.Īlthough those itchy, red rashes can be quite uncomfortable for some people, jock itch is usually not a cause for concern. It is commonly found in athletes as well as people who are overweight and tend to sweat a lot. ![]() Jock itch is, in most cases, caused by sweat and moisture. The rash (or rashes) can show up on any part of your body! That said, it most commonly appears on the groin area and inner thighs. Jock itch, which is also referred to as 'tinea cruris' by medical professionals, can be best defined as a common fungal infection that can cause one or more itchy, red rashes on your skin. |
