Books like Natural Selection by Dave Freedman
A team of marine scientists in California is perplexed when enormous dolphin carcasses are found with impressively large bite marks that do not match any known sea creature. Their investigation leads them to a shocking discovery: a species of manta ray, once considered gentle, has evolved into a massive, predatory predator. These creatures, having made sudden evolutionary leaps, now swim along the coast, wreaking havoc on marine life. As the scientists track the manta rays, they learn that the leader has the unusual ability to fly, forcing the team to confront an extraordinary new threat. With stakes rising as the manta ray leader attacks a remote island, the researchers must decide whether to become hunters or prey in a battle that blends science with thrilling suspense.
