Fascinating Facts About Stingrays

Stingrays are close relatives of sharks, possessing skeletons made entirely of flexible cartilage rather than rigid bone. They spend much of their lives swimming gracefully near ocean floors or gliding through coastal shallow waters with undulating fin movements. Their flattened shape allows them to rest flat on seabed sediments to hide from predators.

A stingray's eyes are situated on top of its body to scan for danger, while its mouth and gill slits are located on its flat underside.
Why do stingrays hide near the sea floor?
