The Cow-nose Stingray
The Cow Nose Stingray Rhinoptera bonasus Elise Coby https://i.pinimg.com/originals/31/f6/77/31f67790caedfa5a0703b916afc35d60.jpg Introduction: The Cownose stingray is a great fascination of mine amongst many other rays, but what is most notable to me about these creatures is their ability to physically jump out of the water and travel in depths of up to 72 feet of tropical waters. What I find curious is the use of their electroreceptors located on their snout along with an exceptional sense of touch and smell. What I hope to find: Upon researching the Cownose ray, I hope to find out the following information: Behavioral patterns and venom (do they sting/ interactions) Migration patterns Electroreceptors Predation Current studies Ending questions Interesting anatomical features: -Pectoral fins -Spiracles -Hyosticlic jaw Behavioral patterns and venom: https://i.pinimg.com/originals/f7/f1/cb/f7f1cbd23687
