Spotted Eagle Ray


The Spotted Eagle Ray is a rather majestic fish. Always a joy to see, but especially when they are flying through the water. Although the species can get up to 8 feet, this one had a wingspan of only about 4 feet. They feed on mollusks in the sand, which is where we often see them. This fish had a misshapen tail, as can be seen in the bottom photo. However, a few minutes later, the same fish looked rather normal in the top photo.
