Sting rays give birth to live young.

Mating season occurs in the winter. During mating, the male will go on top of the female and place one of his two claspers into her vent. Most stingrays are ovoviviparous. 5 to 10 young stingrays are born.

they look like miniature sting rays.

This person in the picture caught a sting ray while fishing and it gave birth right on the beach. baby sting rays are born with stringers but they have a rubber looking cover over it, to protect the mothers stomach. any kind of stress can cause a mother to give birth when they are near term. The bigger the ray the more the babies. they are usually born tales first with their wings roled up. with in a few days their spines are hardened and they can swim on their own.
