stingray
Flat ocean fish
A stingray is a flat-bodied cartilaginous fish with a long whip-like tail armed with a venomous barb.
Stingrays lie camouflaged on sandy ocean floors and deliver painful stings when stepped on.
They're related to sharks but have distinctive diamond or disc-shaped bodies and wing-like pectoral fins that propel them through water.
