World’s Only Pink Manta Ray

They say this creature is the only pink Manta Ray in the world.
A photographer named  Kristen Laien pictured this while she was diving Australia's great barrier.

Despite she may look small but she is humagise. This stingray is 3.3 meters some say it was difficult to find in the five year since it was noticed.

But I believe that around this world there are many more where this pink Stingray came from.

Sean Plunked Says NZ Should Get Rid Of Halloween

Radio host Sean Plunket said that New Zealand should get rid of Halloween because he says it's not magical it's foolishness.

He is disagreeing with the holiday that gives sugary treats to children and he says that "we should do better and give our kids better than a celebration of type-2 diabetes once a year"
