EAGLE RAYS
Original Animal Characteristics
Description: Eagle Rays are a group of large rays typically found living in the open ocean instead of the bottom of the sea. There are eight notable species of eagle rays, the bat rays, bonnet rays, bull rays, common eagle rays, cownose rays,
devil rays, manta rays, and smooth-tail eagle rays. The general anatomical layout of eagle rays is as follows: two large, broad pectoral fins with pointed tips, rounded, two narrow pelvic fins, one small dorsal fin, a long, whip-like tail (which may
or may not have stinging barbs), and often, a caudal fin. Coloration varies widely and can include a spotted pattern consisting of white rings with a black center, blue with white spots, brown with an off-white belly, brown-grey dorsally with a
white belly, dark brown, olive-green, or yellow dorsal surface with pale gray or blue spots and a white belly, dramatically spotted with white, blue-white, green, pearl, or yellow spots against a brown, black, or dark gray background,
reddish-brown with white spots, uniform gray, or white ventrally and blue or black dorsally.
