on Β Sting Ray. Jelena, I was in an aquarium.Β  When I was in Australia, Mexico and the Galapagos, I was able to swim among stingrays, but I did not have an underwater camera.Β  The flat bodies of stingrays allow them to conceal themselves. They agitate the sand and hide beneath it. Because their eyes are on top and their mouths on the bottom, stingrays cannot see their prey; instead, they use smell and electro-receptors (similar to those of sharks). Stingrays mainly eat molluscs, crustaceans. Stingrays do not aggressively attack humans, and stings usually occur when a ray is accidentally stepped on. I found myself walking through hundreds of them in the Galapagos Islands. Β  Β andyserrano.deviantart.com/art…

Wou, fantastically!

"They agitate the sand and hide beneath it" I know I do, I watched several documentaries on sea world has, and about them.

Thank you for everything you've written here for those beautiful sea animals.

on Sting Ray. I'm not on vacation right now. Maybe I'll take one during Christmas. My wife, her friend, my friend and his wife all went to the aquarium on a Sunday afternoon. The exhibit makes you feel like you are in the water with the stingrays. The flat bodies of stingrays allow them to conceal themselves. They agitate the sand and hide beneath it. Because their eyes are on top and their mouths on the bottom, stingrays cannot see their prey; instead, they use smell and electro-receptors (similar to those of sharks).

I'm complimented you feel it's a great shot. The flat bodies of stingrays allow them to conceal themselves. They agitate the sand and hide beneath it.

Great shot! I really like the underwater view with the sparkling light from above. Where was this taken?

This was taken at Long Beach, California. I am very happy you like it! Thank you for the fave.

I thought it looked familiar. The Long Beach Aquarium of the Pacific, correct? It's one of my favorite places. The model of the life size blue whale and the two-story high aquarium always amaze me whenever I go there.
