About Stingrays
There are around 70 species of stingrays in the world. Stingrays are commonly found in tropical and subtropical coastal ocean waters, a few species live in freshwater rivers.
Most varieties of stingrays have one or more barbed venomous stingers on their tail which are only used in self-defence.
Stingrays flat bodies allow them to dig in and hide from predators on the sandy ocean bottom. The main predators of stingrays are sharks, other large fish, seals, and sea lions.
Stingrays eyes are on top of their bodies, yet their mouth, gills, and nostrils are on the underside. Because of this stingrays cannot see their prey, instead they use smell and electroreceptor's to find food.
Stingrays mainly feed on mollusks, crustaceans such as crabs, clams, oysters, sea snails and small fish.
To swim, some stingray species flap their fins like a bird and fly through the water, others move their entire bodies in a wavy motion propelling them forward.
In the wild, a stingray can live on average to be 15 to 25 years.
