How the animal stingray is protected?

The stingray has a barb at the base of its tail that inflicts a very painful sting. When threatened, a stingray is able to whip its tail quickly to sting an attacker. If stung by a stingray, the immediate treatment is to immerse the area in water that is as hot as can be tolerated, because heat breaks down the stingray toxin. A doctor should be seen because of the potential for infection and the possibility at a piece of the barb remaining in the body.


Can a stingray live without its tail?

I have seen sting rays that have only half of a tail or a little less, but never no tail at all. Seeing that they can live with partial tails I would say yes they can live without a tail, but it would probably shorten their lives considerable when you think about how many things they use their tail for.
