What does a Stingray feel like to touch?

The skin of rays is similar to that of sharks. It's not the skin, but the placing of the scales is different on each animal. Both sharks and stingrays have scales called dermal denticles (meaning skin teeth). Each scale has the same structure as a shark's tooth. The difference is that a shark's dermal denticles are all aligned pointing to the rear of the shark while a ray's scales are more spread apart and are in an irregular pattern. Sting rays are smooth creatures that feel something similiar to velvet. They feel strong, but the skin feels as if it has a slime coating, though none will deposit on your hands if you touch them.
