My local aquarium lets people feed the rays and they come right up and splash and bounce up and down and try to climb over each other like eager puppies at the edge. Super friendly. I heard someone refer to the little ray against the glass at the end as "haunted ravioli" and it's stuck with me since. 🤣

It's SO fun to have them just hoover food out of your hands! I got soaked feeding them at the aquarium I went to from all their splashing, but it was a blast.

Fun fact: The largest stingray in the world is the giant freshwater ray, Urogymnus polylepis. It can reach lengths of nearly 4 meters (~13 ft), including the tail, and lives in the rivers of Southeast Asia. Its stinger alone can reach 38 cm (15 in). They're endangered and one of my favorite species of fish because of how weird they are.

[@Badficwriter]

I went to a beach place (can't remember where) where people were allowed to stand in the shallow water and feed the rays. It was monitored, and we were told to hold the food provided like a fork, so the ray's mouth could suck it up without nibbling on our fingers. They were as excited and hungry as koi fish get about feeding, and you could touch as they flap flap flapped to get in front. Pretty amazing, but in retrospect I know human skin oil is bad for the flap flaps.

[@e.s.lavall9219]

I believe the stinger that got him broke off and continued to expose venom to his internals. Given that, mamy sourced ended up explaining the biology behind it so average readers kind of understood what happened. I don't feel like it's a very well-kept secret how the stinger work, outside of possibly how the venom works.

Fun fact: Manta rays and it's close relatives are the only vertebrates in the world to have 6 appendages instead of 4. This means that creatures like dragons and griffins and pegasi which are vertebrates with 6 limbs are totally possible to exist.

[@yourfuturewaifu9061]

Yiss, this is the real info I want

[@rolandoftheeld]

Unfortunately not. The cephalic lobes aren't truly separate limbs - they're still genetically part of the pectoral fins. They develop as a single structure that moves into two locations instead of developing fully independently. But! That doesn't mean a six-limbed vertebrate CAN'T exist, only that it DOESN'T. There's technically nothing stopping it from happening (besides evolutionary inertia - it's a lot harder to GAIN limbs than it is to lose them). In another hundred million years, who knows?

Manta rays are my favourite animal, they're just so graceful and gentle and intelligent. They'll actually somersault to greet each other and even their favourite divers, they can actually recognize different divers and have certain ones that they grow affectionate towards and attached to. They actually figured out that they actual recognize humans by their eyes, almost like they realized that humans have body markings that change, but noticed that the eyes in their masks don't change. They'll even let drivers ride around on them if they like them enough, they're so cool!

I was fortunate enough to feed some rays at the Mystic Aquarium in CT a few years ago. It was a WILD experience, like feeding a vacuum cleaner. I'm so happy that these majestic sea pancakes finally get an episode.

Amazing how the stealth bomber looked similar to a stingray. If you squint. Hard. And suffer a concussion.
