Mantas (meaning blanket or cloak in Spanish) are the largest rays in the world. Manta Rays cruise majestically through the open water, only venturing to the sea-bed to clean themselves. They need to keep swimming so they can breathe as the water flows over their gills. Manta rays are intelligent creatures, with the largest brain to body weight ratio of any fish. They can be identified individually by spots on the underside of their bodies.
Mantas begin life as little manta pups, all curled up like burritos! By the time they're fully grown, giant oceanic manta rays can have a wingspan of up to 7 metres across and can weigh as much as a white rhino! Reef mantas are smaller, at around 4.5 metres, but this is still pretty huge. Unfortunately these magnificent creatures reproduce slowly, which makes them vulnerable to overfishing.
Stay warm as you explore the outdoors with this eco-friendly knitted beanie featuring an embroidered majestic Manta Ray.
This soft and cosy organic cotton hat is embroidered to-order in our Bournemouth studio. Organic cotton is better for the planet, the farmers and our skin.

Each little Blue Panda design is conceived, sketched & brought to life by our in-house artist Steve.
"I’ve always loved animals & have been drawing them as far back as I can recall, dragging wildlife encyclopedias around with me as a small child.
Rediscovering this passion as an adult brings me full circle & I love the fact that I’m able to keep the entire process in-house.
From a simple sketch I can bring the animal to life with the use of stitch types, angles & thread colour choices - embroidery digitizing is an art in itself & I absolutely love doing this part of the process.
With each design I try to capture the spirit of the animal and I hope you can feel this too."
