Eagle rays quite often change direction suddenly too. Rather than swim in roughly the same direction.

Re: Cape woolamai eagle ray report
Eagle rays will change direction a lot during the fight, the big black/brown ones just run in one direction. both run HARDDD. eagle rays also leap out of the water and do a lot of acrobatics, the big brown/black ones never break the water surface.
this looks like the black/brown rays not an Eagle ray.
