What is a "Stin Rays"? The Most Authoritative Explanation.
What are stingray facts?
Stingray facts. 1. Rays and skates are flattened fish closely related to sharks. All belong to a group of fish called Elasmobranchs. 2. These guys are pretty unique as they have no bones in their body – their skeleton is made up of flexible cartilage (the bendy stuff that your ears and nose are made from!).How do stingrays use their spiracles?
Most of the time stingrays take in water using their mouth and then send the water through the gills for gas exchange. This is efficient, but the mouth cannot be used when hunting because the stingrays bury themselves in the ocean sediment and wait for prey to swim by. So the stingray switches to using its spiracles.What is the purpose of a stingray's tail?
The tail may also be used to maneuver in the water, but its primary purpose is protection. The stingray's spine, or barb, can be ominously fashioned with serrated edges and a sharp point. The underside may produce venom, which can be fatal to humans, and which can remain deadly even after the stingray's death.What is a sixgill stingray?
The only member of the Hexatrygonidae family of stingrays, the sixgill stingray has six separate pairs of gill openings, as compared to the five that most other stingrays have, hence its name. It also has gill arches and a snout that is triangular in shape.
