Fin rays are bony structures found in the fins of fish and other aquatic animals. They provide support and help in the movement and stability of the fins. The number and structure of fin rays can vary among different species.
The class name for cartilaginous fishes is Chondrichthyes. These fishes have skeletons made of cartilage instead of bone, and include species such as sharks, rays, and skates.
Stingrays are typically found in shallow coastal waters, but some species have been known to swim to depths of up to 1,000 meters (3,300 feet). Their ability to dive to such depths allows them to inhabit a wide range of marine environments.

Every living thing is classified by a binomial naming system that has seven level: Kingdom, Phylum, Class, Order, Family, Genus, Species (and certain sub and supra levels as needed) . What we have up here is the binomial path that leads down to the Stingrays. To name a particular stingray you now have to decide which Genus it is that you want and then get yourself a list of species that belong to the Genus. To get the name of a particular species you have to have a Genus and species.
The stingray is a vertebrate, scientifically classified in the phylum Chordata. Its skeleton is made of cartilage instead of bone, but it still has a vertebrate skeleton. AND IT IS A CHORDATE
Stingrays are vertebrates
This quote suggests that life is constantly flowing and changing, much like the water in a river. It implies that life is dynamic, full of movement and growth, and that it requires adaptation to navigate its ever-changing course. Just as a river can carve its own path, so too can we shape our own journey in life.

sharks cannot survive on land because they will suffocate by their weight which can be almost two tons, they breathe by getting water to flow into their mouths and out of their gill silts and if they stop swimming they'll drown!
Very tricky question with a few answers. First off, no they can't fly. If you were to drop one from a plane however, it would glide down before splatting or "fall with style" as Buzz Lightyear would put it. It can also be argued that they do in fact fly, just under water. Hope this helps! =0)
Stingrays eyes are small, if you look at the Stingrays' eyes they are almost invisible, like little slits in the head of the animal.
no, if their stinger breaks off after stinging someone then it ill grow back at rate of about 5.75 inches per month.
You can find a stingray at the local aquarium, where most are available for safe petting. The only other way is to go into the ocean, and dive down to the bottom where all the bottom feeders are, and hope stingrays are there.
SHARKS AND RAYS HAVE CARTILAGE SKELETONS,WHICH MEANS THEY ARE VERY FLEXIBLE. I THINK.(peytonallentranum)
Some species of stingrays are endangered due to pollution and overfishing. Some species of stingray that are endangered are the Ganges Stingray, Giant Freshwater Stingray, Izu Stingray, and the Marbled Freshwater Stingray.
The normal manta ray is usually non-aggressive, but it is capable of defending itself with its dangerous tail. A manta ray may also ram its foe, although this clumsy attack is treated as a secondary attack.
It was often thought that fish are always (on the Go) and feed frequently and do not need to rest. they do not sleep in the human or mammalian sense. maybe they do, but we know so little about the life in the depths.
