Although stingrays are cartilaginous, they are vertebrates.
they are invertebrates. they have cartilage not bone.
Stingrays primarily use their barbs for defense rather than hunting. Their barbs, which can deliver a painful sting, are not used to capture prey. Instead, stingrays hunt by lying on the ocean floor and using their flattened bodies to blend in while they ambush small fish and invertebrates, using their mouths to suck in prey. The barb serves as a protective mechanism against potential predators.
Stingrays occupy a niche as benthic predators in marine and freshwater ecosystems, primarily feeding on invertebrates and small fish found in the sediment. Their flattened bodies and specialized feeding adaptations allow them to efficiently hunt while partially buried in the substrate. Additionally, they play a role in maintaining the health of their habitats by controlling prey populations and contributing to nutrient cycling. Overall, stingrays are crucial for the ecological balance of their environments.
Stingrays are carnivores, and as such, don't eat numbers. They eat invertebrates, fish, and anything else they may find, including mollusks, clams, mussels, and other shellfish.
The collective noun for 'stingrays' is a fever of stingrays.
