Learn about stingrays, the flattened fish with electrical sensors and a barbed tail. Discover how they swim, feed, camouflage, and defend themselves from predators and humans.
Up to 6.5 feet. Weight: Up to 790 pounds. Stingrays have broad fins that run the full length of their bodies, giving them a flat, roundish shape. To swim, some stingrays move their whole bodies in a wavy motion that propels them through the water. Other species flap their fins like bird wings and "fly" through the water.
- Rays and skates are flattened fish closely related to sharks. All belong to a group of fish called Elasmobranchs.
- These guys are pretty unique as they have no bones in their body – their skeleton is made up of flexible cartilage (the bendy stuff that your ears and nose are made from!).
- Although they look near identical, rays and skates are actually different. Stingrays are ovoviviparous, meaning the young are hatched from eggs that are held within the body, whereas skates are oviparous, meaning they lay eggs – these eggs are protected by a hard, rectangular case often called a “mermaid”s purse“!
- There are many different types of ray including stingrays, electric rays, butterfly rays, round rays, manta rays, guitarfish and sawfish.
