More About Skates and Rays ...
|
Rays are a group (superorder Rajomorphii) of cartilaginous fishes. They are extremely flat but closely related to the sharks. According to recent DNA analyses the cat shark is more closely related to the rays than to other sharks. Young rays look very much like young sharks.
Most rays live at the bottom of the sea. Only a few species live in the open sea or in freshwater. Rays feed on crustaceans or fish, depending on the species. No ray can kill humans, but the stingray can inflict a painful sting.
The main types of rays are stingrays, eagle rays, cow nose rays, manta rays, electric rays, and sawfishes.

Stingray City is a dive site outside Grand Cayman that have become world-famous for the unusual interaction between Southern Stingrays and humans. For years, Stingrays have dined on the castoff portions of fish as local fishermen cleaned their catch and tossed the remnants overboard. Local divers discovered this community, developed it, and today, this gathering of rays accepts food and strokes alike from snorkellers, all in complete safety. Stingray City reflects interaction in 12 feet of water. This is an extraordinary, not-to-be-missed piece of video!
The footage on Stingray City is shot with a 3CCD DVCAM camcorder and is supplied in flattened QuickTime format. It is shot and captured in NTSC format dimensions, 720 x 486 pixels, at a frame rate of 30 fps.
