Sting rays live in the layer of the ocean called Plankton

it grows 12 cm when its his/her birthday.

The Ghost Shark as it is called in South Africa, is found at a depth of 200m to more than 2.4km in temperate and tropical waters on the soft muddy bottoms of the ocean bed of the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. Most species occur near continental landmasses or off oceanic islands and on the slopes of seamounts and underwater ridges.

They are members of cartilaginous class of fish.

the body parts are eyes and fins

ask.com says that"stingrays do migrate."<gabby0627

even nationalgeographic.com has a picture showing that stingray travel in the pacific and Atlantic ocean near the equator<gabby0627

They sort of vacuum it up through their mouth parts, which are located on their undersides.

Yes. It is illegal in Australia but i am not sure about any other countries. I hope this helps.

A group of sharks is called a gam, grind, school, herd, pod, collage, or shiver.

Tiger sharks are ovoviviparous, the eggs hatch internally and are born live fully developed. The gestation is approximately 13 months.

Lifespan is 20 years on average for a Devil Ray also known as the Manta Ray

Manta ray is their actual name. so it'd make more sense if you said:

Lifespan is 20 years on average for a Manta Ray also known as the Manta Ray.

just so you know.

Technically no, but the sides of their body act like fins.

maybey because they are venomus <3

Manta Rays grow to a much larger size than Stingrays, but I'd say the biggest difference is that Stingrays have a "stinger", a hard, thin rod-like appendage that lies in a groove in it's tail until it's frightened or threatened at which time it will will 'lift' it up, out and over it's back, and drive it into the flesh of it's perceived (or real) attacker and 'sting' it - it's very painful!

Manta Rays have a similar tail to Stingrays, but over evolutionary-time, they've "lost" the 'stinger'.

Stingrays are thought to be evolutionarily older than Mantas mainly because Mantas have evolved from being bottom filter-feeders into Open-Ocean filter-feeders while stingrays have remained bottom feeders. This is why, if you should go into the water where they are found (like off the coast of Australia), you will likely be warned to do the "Stingray Shuffle"....this frightens the rays away and helps you to avoid stepping on one - if you do, you most likely will be stung.

It was once thought that there was only one "type" of Manta Ray. But, it has been discovered that there are actually two:

- One is call the Giant Manta Ray and these Rays migrate around in the Ocean for long distances

- The other, first discovered, smaller and thought to be "older' Mantas stay closer to the shore

A believed to be newly discovered 'type' of Giant Ray is even larger than the other and have what some believe to be a vestigial stinger which can be seen on them as a small 'bump' at the base of the tail (vestigial = an evolutionarily 'withered', and basically useless to the 'modern' animal, body part - in humans, the appendix is thought to be vestigial)

The discovery of the Giant Rays with this (thought by some) vestigial, "bump" now have people wondering - Which 'came first' - The smaller, more common Manta, or the Giant?

Although Stingrays are more aggressive, by virtue of their "stinger", both are basically 'peaceful' creatures.

There are other differences between the Manta and Stingray, but I believe what I've mentioned suffices as the "major" differences.

No they do not.

1 type of specie will eat a eel
They might. Dolphins mostly eat fish and sometimes squid.

It looks like a bird its wings are big its mouth is like a whale sharks mouth.

It can get up to 6 ft. wide. i found that out on animal planet (river monsters). On river mosters he cuaght i sting ray that's was 6 ft. wide, 400 pounds, and when he had it in the net she had three baby sting rays. I hope this was the answer you were looking for.

they have but i don't think that they do it intentionally . well anyways i don't care ! if i saw one i would throw a rock at it .

what ........ ! like you would just stay their and let them attack you... well if they are planning to anyways. but i wouldn't take any chances . so if you see one cuz it might kill you.

READ THIS PART IT IS IMPORTANT :

they might kill you by eating you so.....

WELL ANYWAYS MY POINT IS THAT YOU SHOULD JUST STAY AWAY FROM THEM

i know this is a LONG answer but still trust me it was worth reading.

i hope this helped. :)

No if they don't bother them,then their fine.

Depending on the breed of a stingray, adults can vary from the size of a palm to having a body of six feet in diameter, with a tail length of fourteen feet. Adolescent stingrays will change in size as they grow older starting from hatching as an embryo of the size of your thumbnail. They are held in their mother's womb until they are mature enough to survive on their own.

no they don't the mother and father animals stay together but the group comes second to their young

I am 99% sure that stingrays are nektons
