Eagle Ray-

Eagle rays unlike stingrays tend to live in the open ocean rather than on the bottom of the sea. Compared with other rays, their tails are quite long and they are a well-defined    rhomboidal shape featuring distinct wings.

Spotted Eagle Ray

The spotted eagle ray is one of the most beautiful rays and is also known as the bonnet ray. It’s inky blue body is covered with almost star like white spots. Weighing about 230 kg (about 507 lbs), it wings can grow as wide as 2.5 m (8 ft) and can reach up to 5 m (16 ft) in length with its tail. Spotted eagle rays are a spectacular sight to see swimming just below the surface of open waters in large schools. They can even be spotted jumping out and across the waters sometimes.
