Georgia Aquarium Adds First Manta Ray on Display in U.S.

The Georgia Aquarium, the world's largest aquarium, announced Monday that it just added a manta ray to its exhibit.

The Georgia Aquarium, which is located in Atlanta, GA, stated that the the nine-foot manta ray will be added to the 6.3 million gallon Ocean Voyager gallery, which was built by The Home Depot.

The addition of Nandi, the female manta ray, makes Georgia Aquarium the only aquarium in the United States to ever display a manta ray and one of only four aquariums in the world to display this species.

Nandi will join four whale sharks and thousands of other animals in the world's largest aquarium exhibit.

Nandi, who measures more than nine feet across and weighs approximately 456 lbs, flew 9,000 miles from Durban, South Africa through Cape Verge, Africa, to Atlanta, GA.

Nandi was rescued from shark nets off the coast of Durban, South Africa, in April 2007 and rehabilitated by uShaka Marine World, the largest marine park in Africa, where she has lived  for the past year.
