Yes, the tail has a covering of venom that when a victim is wounded by the tail, there is some venom left in the wound. These cause intense pain, followed by a loss in blood pressure and erratic heart beat

Stingrays can be very dangerous, with their venomous spine on the whip-like tail. Be very careful when wading in shallow water along the coast, most people get stung when they step on a ray half buried in the sand.
Yes. sting rays are very dangerous some are even poisinous their stingers are located half way down the tail. Do you know the guy Steve erwin....the crocadile hunter....he died from a stink ray because it stung him direcly in the heart.

Not all are. There are about 200 species of rays. Some stingray species do not possess stings, such as some of the butterfly rays and devil rays. There are also other "ray" species that do not belong to the Order Myliobatiformes, such as the guitarfishes (Order Rhinobatiformes). The majority of the problems with stingray wounds is the mechanical trauma from the sting not the venom.
