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. 🤣

I had to pause the video as the ray was playing it off like the fish was already stunned and just lose it until I calmed down. Getting over a chest cold so really helped clear out the lungs.

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.

But from Mrs. Jett's perspective "that horrible vet lady always sticks something up her butt" so she is justified for savaging her...

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.

One of the best memories of my childhood was on a boating trip near Destin FL. My family saw a big school of sting rays coming right for us from the boat and told us to get back before they got to us. We did not make it in time, so they shouted for us to float. We all had snorkels on and man, just floating in 4 feet of water watching a couple hundred rays go right under you was magic.

I got to feed some Cow-nosed Rays at a zoo many years ago! We were told to put the piece of fish between our fingers, standing up (like a cigarette) and place our hand on the floor of the pool, palm down. The rays came by and suctioned the piece of fish up and just glided by. It felt like a little vacuum pulling the fish up. They were SO cute!!!!!

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.

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?

Waaay back in 1972, I was living in a school bus for the winter on a beach in Baja. I saw a flock? Herd?group of Manta rays traveling fast, leaping out of the water like dolphins, massive things.. for a kid from Oregon, it was the most awesome thing I had ever seen. Good times.😊😊
