Flying StingRay Kills

**SexyWS6Mama** · 03-21-2008, 05:36 AM

I didn't see this posted here anywhere......I know everyone knows about flying/killing stingray in FL!

I didn't think this could happen. Talk about a freak accident!

I always pet string rays at the aquarium, but they are small and barb removed, so it's alot safer... still I always get scaried they will somehow flip over and bite my hand!!!

I always thought they were pretty cool

**SexyWS6Mama** · 03-21-2008, 08:41 AM

they are unique/cool creatures until someone gets hurt or killed.

it is not a Sting Ray it is a Spotted Eagle Ray. They even say that in the article. They are not the same thing at all
a Spotted Eagle Ray does not have a stinger. Some stupid reporter knew that if they said it was a Sting Ray it would get more press

let's learn more about this spotted eagle RAY

http://www.flmnh.ufl.edu/fish/Galler...Ray/SERay.html

Looks like it's common name is spotted stringray!

**SexyWS6Mama** · 03-21-2008, 12:23 PM

oh and it says it stings

"The stinging spines, originating just behind the dorsal fin, are short and number from 2-6. They have a barbed tip and recurved lateral teeth along with a forked root. These venomous spines can deliver a nasty sting when used in defense against potential threats."

anyways...horrible tragic for those folks
