Yes, stingrays can pose a threat, and could possibly cause one to die. Apparently, they are "cousins" of the shark. It's well-known that a stingray was what caused the death of the "Crocodile Hunter" Steve Irwin. While sharks have very powerful bites, stingrays have a spiney "tail" and small mouths. How can they be so vicious? Well, the tail stiffens when a stingray feels threatened, and kind of like a serrated blade with a deadly mixture of venom, it can produce enough power to kill its predator. Typically, stingrays pose very little threat to humans unless stepped on. It would definitely be painful to get "stabbed" by the spine, yet ultimately the threat remains minimum for humans. Steve Irwin probably died when the stingray pierced his heart; a tragic way to end one's life, and very unfortunate that it happened like that.

What happens when a stingray bites?
The most dangerous part of the stingray is the barbed, poisoned tail. The mouth isn't really of much concern. Don't worry though.

Discovering that my hand was not tasty, it spat it out. Nothing to be afraid of.
