Marine Life Fun Fact

When not feeding, southern stingrays bury themselves in the sand with only their eyes and spiracles visible. They can be found individually, in pairs, or in loose groups – though usually, they are solitary. If threatened, they can raise their tails like a scorpion and stab predators with their venomous barb.

Stingrays may look like they’re flying through the water, but a closer look will reveal a graceful flapping motion propelling them through. Most species undulate their bodies to get from place to place, moving like an underwater wave, but others tend to flap their sides up and down like wings. Research conducted by the Save Our Seas Foundation found that stingrays in South Africa moved at 1.35 kilometers per hour (0.83 miles per hour), and some species took migrations as far as 850 kilometers (528 miles).

They may not have sharp teeth, but stingrays still share several similarities with sharks. They are both part of the same group of cartilaginous fish (meaning their skeletons are supported by cartilage instead of bones) and have similar skin. They also use the same ampullae of Lorenzini sensors, which are special sensing organs that pick up on the electrical signals emitted by prey.
