Common Stingray

DASYATIS PASTINACA

These rays feed on fish, as well as crustaceans and worms. During the day, they rest hidden in the sand and tend to hunt for food at night. When they feel threatened, they lift their tail to sting their attacker with their poisonous sting, just like scorpions do.
