Habitat, diet, enemies
Stingrays are a family of fish that live in most of the planet’s oceans. Seeing a stingray while swimming is not uncommon in some parts of the world. These beautiful creatures have slender, flat bodies that glide gracefully through the water, and long, thin tails that trail behind them.
All types of rays may be dangerous to humans ; some species have venomous spines along the tail that deliver a painful sting. However, stingrays are not inherently aggressive and usually only attack if they are accidentally stepped on or provoked. Their size can vary from 15.5 cm to over 4.9meters!

Sixgill Ray
This unique species of rays has six gills while other species have only five. The animal has a rounded body with a short tail, long and very pointed muzzle . It is believed that the sixgill stingray may use its unusually pointed snout to crawl through sediment on the seafloor in search of food. The retractable jaw allows them to extend their mouth to capture excavated prey.
This rather nondescript animal has been sighted in various places in the Indo-Pacific region between South Africa and Hawaii, off the coast of several Indonesian islands and Western Australia, and in the Pacific Ocean from Japan to the Philippines.
The sixgill ray is mainly found at depths between 500 and 1120 meters , with a few rare sightings in shallow water. They swim on the seafloor and prefer rocky, muddy and sandy habitats
Deep sea ray
The deep sea ray has a black color around the edges of a rounded body, which then turns red-brown and darkens again in the center and along the tail. The pointed muzzle gives the upper body a triangular appearance. At deep-sea stingrays has a venomous spike attached to its long tail. Be careful, they can leave a nasty wound!
This ray species is found in the Indo-Pacific region around South Africa and Mozambique, from Japan to Australia, off the coast of South India and east of the Philippines. It has occasionally been spotted near Hawaii and neighboring small islands. They prefer to live on sandy seabeds, among rocky underwater landscapes, or along coral reefs. Most populations of this species live along continental slopes .
They mostly live in deep waters, as their name suggests. Deep-sea skates were observed at a depth of 780 meters. However, they usually live at a depth of 275 to 680 meters. They feed on everything they can find at these depths, from fish to marine worms.
Round ray
The round ray family includes about 35 different species. Their size varies from 15 to 80 cm; a small species compared to representatives of other families of rays. Fins give their body diamond-shaped and are often dull colored to help the fish camouflage themselves.
Did you know? Round Rays come in light or dark brown hues to help blend in with sandy or rocky environments. However, there are several striking subspecies with attractive patterns.
They live in the Indo-Pacific region and the western Atlantic Ocean in tropical and temperate waters and try to avoid colder seas. Round ramps mostly stay close to shore but some live down to 700 meters!
Round rays are bottom dwellers that feed on small fish, crustaceans and invertebrates, waiting for them, half buried in the sand. Most round rays have one or more venomous, serrated spines along their tails.
Stingray
Stingrays are a group of fish with a diverse geographic distribution. By most scientific estimates, there are about 70 subspecies of stingrays. They range in size from 30 cm to a shocking 2 meters wide! As well as their size, the subspecies also have an incredibly varied coloration from off-white to almost black.
Their tails are thin and long. Poisonous, jagged spines grow along them, usually just one or two. These dangerous spikes can be up to 40 cm long !
Stingrays live in estuaries, estuaries and coastal waters. They often sink halfway into the sand, waiting patiently for their prey to swim past. Stingrays have a keen sense of smell and easily catch crabs, shrimps, worms and fish.
River stingray
This family of stingrays is found in the rivers of Southeast Asia, South America, Australia and Africa. Unlike other species, they do not enter sea waters . Some subspecies have venomous spines attached to their tails, while others do not.
Freshwater rays feed on fish and crustaceans and have spiracles to help them get enough oxygen to their five ventral gills when they are resting on the river bottom.
One of the most attractive representatives of this family is Amazonian river stingray . It has a brown, rounded body covered in distinctive red spots with black rings around them.
Another interesting freshwater stingray giant freshwater stingray living in the rivers of Thailand, Cambodia, Indonesia and Malaysia. They are light brown with long, pointed snouts. This species can reach a length of 5 meters (including the tail)! They are considered the largest fish species on Earth.
Butterfly Ray
Butterfly Rays belong to the family Gymnuridae, a group of about 12 species. Butterfly rays have been seen in the Atlantic, Pacific and Indian Oceans, and occasionally in estuaries. Preference is given to tropical and subtropical regions. Their natural habitat is sandy areas where they feed on fish, invertebrates and any other small aquatic creatures they can catch!
Did you know? They are called butterfly rays because the width of their fins is much greater than the length, which gives them the appearance of a butterfly. They vary greatly in color and can be spotted, solid, or speckled.
Some species in this group have venomous spikes on their tails, but they are not as dangerous as other stingray families. They don’t have many predators to watch out for, although sharks won’t hesitate to eat one as a snack.
Eagle Ray
This family of rays inhabits marine habitats. They have pterygoid fins and a distinctive whip-like tail to which a sharp, serrated spike can be attached. They feed on small mollusks and crustaceans, which they catch on the sandy and rocky seabed and crush with their flat teeth.
However, the eagle ray often hangs closer to the surface of the water. This species is found worldwide in tropical and subtropical waters, although each species has an individual and distinct geographical distribution.
One of the most famous eagle rays is spotted eagle . Representatives of this species have a black body covered with small bright white spots. Their wingspan is about 210 cm!
Bull Rays
Bull Eagle is a species of eagle rays that lives in the western part of the Atlantic Ocean, preferring tropical and temperate waters. They feed on small invertebrates, mollusks and crustaceans.
Interesting fact: Bull Rays have long pointed pectoral fins that look like wings and join together at the top of the body into a formation that looks a lot like a cow’s nose from above!
Bullheads migrate in large groups. Adults can reach a width of 91.5 cm. They have brown bodies and a comical ventral appearance . These unique stingrays spend their time close to shore in coastal areas, but they can also be seen at depths of up to 20 meters. They have a venomous spike on their tail, but are timid in nature and do not often approach humans.
Pelagic spotted bracken
This species of eagle rays is one of the most visible in the group. His body is black and covered with small white spots, because of which it is not worth talking about any camouflage.
