Description
Description

Unlike other rays that prefer to remain immobile on the seabed, the cownose ray (Rhinoptera bonasus) is a bold swimmer, great traveler—migrating great distances, and social as they flock in large schools of varying age and sex. The cownose ray is metropolitan in the Caribbean and Western Atlantic Ocean; a representative of the family Rhinopteridae, and has a rapid growth rate. The long pointed pectoral fins separated into two lobes help create their high-domed heads, which resemble a cow’s nose from where it gets its name. The fish love to swim near the surface and can inflict a poisonous sting though non-fatal.

Batoidea, or rays, are the largest group of fish whose bodies are made out of cartilage instead of bones, similar to their relatives the shark. Rays are easily identifiable by their flat bodies with elongated fins attached to their heads, and gills placed on their underbellies.
