Smooth Stingray
A master at camouflage, the smooth stingray has adapted the effective technique of countershading. They usually have irregular rows of small white spots on the upper surface beside their head.
Cownose Ray
The Cownose Ray is a species of eagle ray and these cute looking rays love to hang out together and glide through their new home. Their bodies are olive brown on top and white underneath.
Facts about Rays
The superorder Batoidea includes various species of rays, such as stingrays, electric rays, skates, guitarfish, and sawfish. Similar to sharks, their close relatives, these creatures have skeletons composed of durable connective tissue called cartilage. Some rays have blunt teeth or bony plates that they use to crush their prey, although this term is a misnomer since rays do not have bones, but rather cartilage. Rays often hide themselves in sand or soft sediment, and their grayish-brown and mottled coloration helps them blend in with their surroundings.
