Stingrays are a group of rays, which are cartilaginous fish related to sharks. They are classified in the suborder Myliobatoidei of the order Myliobatiformes and consist of eight families: Hexatrygonidae (sixgill stingray), Plesiobatidae (deep water stingray), Urolophidae (stingarees), Urotrygonidae (round rays), Dasyatidae (whiptail stingrays), Potamotrygonidae (river stingrays), Gymnuridae (butterfly rays), and Myliobatidae (eagle rays).
Most stingrays have one or more barbed stingers (modified from dermal denticles) on the tail, which are used exclusively in self-defense. The stinger may reach a length of approximately 35 cm (14 in), and its underside has two grooves with venom glands. The stinger is covered with a thin layer of skin, the integumentary sheath, in which the venom is concentrated. A few members of the suborder, such as the manta and porcupine rays, do not have stingers.
Stingrays are common in coastal tropical and subtropical marine waters throughout the world. Some species, such as Dasyatis thetidis, are found in warmer temperate oceans, and others, such as Plesiobatis daviesi, are found in the deep ocean. The river stingrays, and a number of whiptail stingrays (such as the Niger stingray), are restricted to fresh water. Most myliobatoids are demersal (inhabiting the next-to-lowest zone in the water column); but some, such as the pelagic stingray and the eagle rays, are pelagic.
Stingray City is a series of shallow sandbars found in the North Sound of Grand Cayman, Cayman Islands. It is a tourist attraction, where southern stingrays are found in abundance and visitors can pet and interact with the animals.
Stingray City is in the shallow waters of the northwest corner of Grand Cayman's North Sound. It is just inside a natural channel that passes through the barrier reef and consists of a string of sandbars crossing the North Sound from Morgan Harbour to Rum Point.
It may be that stingrays began gathering in the area decades ago when fisherman returning from an excursion, navigated behind a reef into the sound, and cleaned their fish in the calm water of the shallows and sandbar area. The fish guts and squid were thrown overboard and the stingrays eventually congregated to feast there. Soon the stingrays associated the sound of a boat engine with food. As this practice turned into a tradition, divers realized that the stingrays could be fed by hand.

There's a lot of examples of wild marine creatures and humans coming together in friendship. But one of the most pleasurable encounters for a regular tourist like me and you, is with Stingrays in the Cayman Islands. Today, I'm joining a tour group heading out to meet with wild stingrays in a place called - what else - Stingray City. There are many tour operators that make daily trips to see the stingrays but I went with Moby Dick Tours because they seemed to provide more time and interaction with the stingrays... As it turns out the water here at Stingray City is perfect for this kind of thing. It's over 80 degrees fahrenheit, very clear, and only about three feet deep. And as soon as you get in the water, the stingrays appear all around you like magic. Stingrays are actually a rel...

Blacktiph and LakeForkGuy go fishing for a giant stingray. These giant monster stingray like to come in around the fishing docks where anglers throw fish into the water. This giant eagle ray picked up the bait and put up an epic battle that took both of us to get it in. The stingray jumped a few times and pulled the maximum amount of drag like it was nothing. After getting defeated and embarrassed in previous attempts, this time was an epic fight of 2 guys VS one big eagle ray that kept coming back for more!

Long days of summer, look good to me, the sun still shimmers, shining down on my banana seat - I can't remember how I skinned my knee, were we chasing something, were we solving mysteries
And disappearing under the freeway, the shadows bearing down on my stingray, my stingray, well
It's not my favorite song, but I hope you'll sing along, cause I got this 45 and it makes me feel alive, yeah
Life in the Fast Lane feel right as rain, I let My Sharona spin over and over and over and over again - Well my best memories, they are not made of wax, a cutout 45 from the back of my Sugar Smacks
The thrill of peeling out on my driveway, the DJ's am sounds on my stingray, my stingray, well
It's not my favorite song, but I hope you'll sing along cause I got the 45 and it makes me feel alive
