How the animal stingray is protected?

The stingray has a barb at the base of its tail that inflicts a very painful sting. When threatened, a stingray is able to whip its tail quickly to sting an attacker. If stung by a stingray, the immediate treatment is to immerse the area in water that is as hot as can be tolerated, because heat breaks down the stingray toxin. A doctor should be seen because of the potential for infection and the possibility at a piece of the barb remaining in the body.
