Sharks and rays are in the same group of fish. Both have skeletons made out of cartilage instead of bone. Rays are flattened fish that look sort of like Frisbees. Sharks are more typically "fish-shape" with a large dorsal fin that sticks up above the water when they hunt. Sharks have rows of very sharp teeth. Rays have flat plates of crushing teeth because they eat clams and other mollusks that live in the sand.
