Their tails have barbs on them that they stab into enemies, mainly sharks. These barbs are like arrowheads and break off more skin coming out. This shape also helps keep the barb from coming out of the predator's skin as the stingray swims away. Some stingrays also bury themselves in the sand to hide from sharks. They go down to the bottom, flap their wings to stir up the ocean bottom, and let the sand fall back on top of them. They can almost completely submerge themselves.
