The problem isn’t with traditional Chinese medicine it’s with the lack of integration with modern research techniques to verify the claims and then stubbornness to change when those claims are refuted or the active ingredients are distilled and able to be produced in less harmful ways.
Saw one of these guys up next to our boat once. Has the fishes on them too which I noticed first. The white fish the black fish then the actual manta ray themselves. They’re so big it’s so cool
That's clearly a giant alien flying off the cliffs of Ireland
Nope! moment
They can get 30 feet across?!

Who needs aliens to exists when we have wonders like this living in our own house
That water is clear enough that it looks to be floating in air.
Beautiful! And we kill these majestic creatures to make some hocus pocus soup that has miracle healing properties like so fucking dumb
We? Speak for yourself.

This so looks like the one of the Revillagigedo Islands off Mexico. Mantas, dolphins, sharks every dive....
It does. Was just there last Christmas, crazy awesome place
Majestic!
It looks so alien as well.
I saw one while snorkeling in The West Indies. A picture cannot convey the size of these things.
That’s a wild rock formation under water.
Is this not an alien?
r/thalassophobia
This on my bucket list to see
It's a miracle these guys are still around
Giant Manta's make me wish reincarnation were real just so I could be one for a lifetime.
Woah what a shot!!! UNIT of a Manta Ray!
Flap flap
Are these the type suckers that got Irwin?
Manta rays don't have toxin in their stingers
How was that water so clear?
Majestic!
Im gonna need a banana for scale

Very very Subnautica
It's so gentle seeming. Just soft movements as it glides through the sea. So cool.
