EDITORS COMMENTS
Watch out for the Ray of Sunshine! This Southern Stingray is making a splash in the shallows, and it's not just its stunning beauty that catches your eye. With its long, whip-like tail armed with a poisonous spine, this ray means business! Feasting on molluscs and crustaceans like a true gourmet, this underwater predator knows how to satisfy its taste buds. But be warned – if you ever find yourself stepping on its venomous spine near the base of that magnificent tail, you might end up with more than just a souvenir from your beach vacation! Hailing from Lucayan National Park in Grand Bahama Island, Bahamas, this stingray calls the sandy or muddy bottoms of inshore shallows home sweet home. It's all about prime real estate when it comes to these rays. So next time you're strolling along the coastal paradise of Central America's Caribbean shores, keep an eye out for our stealthy friend here. Just remember to admire from afar and give it plenty of space – after all, nobody wants to experience firsthand why they call it 'poisonous'!
