Go to Google-type in "stingray"-click on image. Same for "skate".
Rays and skates are similar species that are closely related to sharks. Most rays are kite-shaped with streamlined tails that may have one or more poisonous barbs or spines. In contrast, skate tails are fleshier and heavier, and have small fins. Size is another way to differentiate rays from their skate cousins. Rays can grow to tremendously large sizes.
Tell ya what, you don't wanna git stung by no Stingray-I hear tell the wound never heals.
Good info. The bay has cow nose rays and clear nose skates. The clear nose are much smaller and stay on the bottom. The cow nose are often seen swimming on the surface. Also I can definitely report that the wounds from a ray heal and hurt like hell.
If there are pictures there, I couldnt find them
