Chondrichyhyes is the animal class that includes cartilaginous fishes like sharks, rays and chimeras.
Sharks are a group of elasmobranch fish characterized by a cartilaginous skeleton, five to seven gill slits on the sides of the head, and pectoral fins that are not fused to the head. Modern sharks are classified within the clade Selachimorpha and are the sister group to the rays. However, the term "shark" has also been used for extinct members of the subclass Elasmobranchii outside the Selachimorpha, such as Cladoselache and Xenacanthus, as well as other Chondrichthyes such as the holocephalid eugenedontidans.
Stingrays belong to the class Chondrichthyes, which includes cartilaginous fish such as rays, skates, and sharks.

Because they eat other living organisms, which is an animal charcteristic, and they have a vertabrae, also an animal charateristic, and they have many cells with a nucleaus and organelles, another animal charcteristic, and they move, which is yet another charcteristic almost all animals share. They are not minerals or plants. The three classifications are plants, animals or minerals. So they fall under animals.
