BSL Marine Species Glossary - Sting Ray - definition

Translation:

Hello! I'm here in Cornwall next to the coastline and I'm going to talk to you about the Common Sting Ray. They live in shallow waters like those near here, normally under the sand or mud, hiding from predators like sharks. The Sting ray has a beautiful diamond shaped body which is around 65 cm wide. They swoop through the water and can flip themselves over. The Sting ray's body does not have bones inside but cartilage. They are related to fish and cousins to sharks. Sting rays have a sharp point at the end of their tail which can deliver a sting. This sharp point has serrated edges and contains a venom that can be dangerous to humans.
