Best Answer

Spotted eagle rays are not dangerous. They have a venomous barb on their tail which they rarely use. They are far more likely to retreat and have never been known to become confrontational. Their stingers may become dangerous if the ray is stuck out of the water, such as accidentally hooked while fishing and pulled into a boat, as they may then thrash around in self defense.
