Life

Mantabu may choose to live in travelling pods, or in fixed locations with others- they typically will live in the vicinity of other mantabu, not in isolation.  
Mantabu have the ability to speak if they train - they can make a range of complex vocalizations, including sounds they use to echolocate.

A special ability they have is "bubbling" they can produce somewhat sticky bubbles to both corral and trap their prey. They may also play with what they catch by bouncing it back and forth to each other inside of the bubble.

Bubbling is also a social activity for mantabu, where they sit around in groups and blow bubbles. Mantabu are omnivores and their diet consists of seaweed, fish, crustaceans, and sea snails. Their lifespan is up to 100 years.
