Answer 1

First off you gotta know, "why they attack?" to know how to answer the question properly.

Now, the stingray usually is at the bottom of the ocean hiding in the sand. When someone steps on them the flip there tail back to get you to get off them.

For example, when someone steps on your hand in order to get them off you could hit them with your elbow humans don't usually do this though but still, that is how they usually attack

A stingray uses its barbed tail to defend itself when it feels threatened. The barb contains venom that can cause pain and injury if it penetrates the skin of a person or predator. Stingrays typically use this defense mechanism when they are stepped on or feel cornered.
