The StingRay is a type of fish known for its flat, disc-shaped body and long, whip-like tail. It is commonly found in warm coastal waters and can be recognized by its smooth skin and often colorful patterns. Some species of stingrays can grow quite large, while others remain smaller. They are typically bottom dwellers, feeding on small fish, crustaceans, and mollusks. Stingrays are also known for their defensive mechanism: a venomous spine located on their tail. While they are generally not aggressive, they can sting if threatened, which can cause pain and injury to humans. Despite this, stingrays are often seen as gentle creatures and are popular in aquariums and marine exhibits.
