Sting Rays are related to sharks. You may feed only the small ones.


They are frendly too. Their tails are used for self-defence. Stingrays can reach a length of 6ft and sometimes longer. Their usual reaction is to flee away from any disturbance. They feed on mollusks and crustaceans. Sometimes they eat small fish. They use small electro-receptors to find their prey. It's tail has a poisonous barb on the end of it. Did you know that Ancient Greek dentists used the venom from the stingrays spine as an anesthetic?
