Cabo is a gorgeous getaway that attracts thousands of tourists each year, but one spectator on the shore took in a strange sight back in 2011.

And it certainly wasn’t a picturesque sunset. While filming, a traveler noticed that the water seemed uncharacteristically choppy. After a few seconds, they realized that something bizarre was afoot.

Watch what jumps out of the water a few seconds in.

I didn’t even know that manta rays could do that! As it turns out, they’re way more athletic than they seem. Nature is full of so many wonders, isn’t it?
