Rays and skates swim in schools primarily for protection against predators, as being in a group can reduce the likelihood of any one individual being targeted. Additionally, schooling can enhance foraging efficiency, allowing them to locate and exploit food sources more effectively. Social interactions within these groups may also play a role in reproduction and mating behaviors. Overall, swimming in schools provides both safety and increased opportunities for survival.

The main physiological difference between rays and skates is?
The main physiological difference between rays and skates lies in their reproductive methods. Rays typically give live birth (ovoviviparous), while skates lay eggs in protective cases known as "mermaid's purses" (oviparous). Additionally, rays generally have a more flattened body shape and longer, whip-like tails compared to skates, which usually have broader bodies and shorter tails. These differences reflect their adaptations to different ecological niches within marine environments.
