Dive into the wonderful Bay of Rays, home to curious rays, playful small-spotted catsharks, and giant temperamental sea basses. Have you ever seen a ray eat or a small-spotted catshark cuddling with a friend?
Thornback Ray
Thornback rays can often be found in the eastern Atlantic, and they can lay up to 170 egg cases.
Small-spotted catshark
The small-spotted catshark is the most common shark species in Europe, and females lay about 18-30 egg cases per year. We have also had small-spotted catshark pups born at SEA LIFE.
WOW!
There are over 500 different ray species in the world! The closest relatives to rays are sharks from whom they modified themselves around 150 million years ago. Just like sharks, rays don’t have bones either. Their body is instead made of cartilage, just like our ears and nose!
