stingrays
Barbed ocean gliders
Stingrays are flat-bodied cartilaginous fish with long, whip-like tails typically armed with venomous barbs.
They're related to sharks but live mostly on ocean floors, where their flattened shape helps them hide in sand.
The barbed tail delivers painful, sometimes dangerous stings when stepped on or when the animal feels threatened: He was stung by a stingray while wading in shallow water.
