Stingray / Rajiformes
Stingrays are classified as a cartilaginous fish, along with sharks. The most important differences between stingrays and other fish include their flat bodies, very long and thin tails, and large fins that resemble butterfly wings. The eyes of stingrays are located on their flat bodies, and their mouths and gills are located under their bodies. They breathe thanks to specially developed holes behind their eyes. Each stingray has different hunting methods. Some stingrays hide on the seafloor and hunt their prey, small fish and crustaceans.
The long tails of stingrays are used only for defensive purposes. Stingrays have a hard and very sharp spine on their tails. This thorn is poisonous. They do not use this thorn unless they feel threatened. Some stingrays have the ability to produce electricity in addition to their spines.
They live an average of 7-15 years.
