The Spotted Eagle Ray is one of the largest eagle rays with a wing-span that can stretch over 3m! Clarification of Aetobatus ocellatus (Kuhl, 1823) as a valid species, and a comparison with Aetobatus narinari (Euphrasen, 1790) (Rajiformes: Myliobatidae). The spotted eagle ray (Aetobatus narinari) is a cartilaginous fish belonging to the eagle ray family of stingrays. From the start to 2018 Richards, V.P., M. Henning, W. Witzell & M.S. The spotted eagle ray doesn't have a caudal fin and the tail is so long that it appears whip-like. Its common name comes from its distinctive spots, fins that flap like wings, and protruding snout that resembles an eagle's beak or duck's bill. The intelligent, curious animals are popular with snorkelers. In Australia it is known from central coast of Western Australia, around the tropical north of the country and south to the central coast of New South Wales.Spotted eagle rays do not pose a significant threat to humans, as they are shy and generally avoid human contact.Their flat crushing teeth can crunch through the hardest of shells, making short work of crabs, oysters and sea urchins.Bundaberg Now is a free community website delivering good news online — an initiative of Bundaberg Regional Council.Greensill Farming Group has begun construction of its Green Solutions Wide Bay facility with the official "ground breaking" of the site earlier this week.Bundaberg vet Marianne Curran hopped into action when a green tree frog presented at Sugarland Animal Hospital with an injured leg.The environmental program DrumMUSTER is up and running again in the Bundaberg Region after a break due to COVID-19 restrictions.Greensill Farming Group has begun construction of its Green Solutions Wide Bay facility with the official "ground breaking" of the site earlier this week.A new history book of Moore Park Beach was launched at the Moore Park Beach Community Association annual meeting.It’s never been easier for plumbers to book inspections after Bundaberg Regional Council adopted a new website interface.A public meeting will be held in Bundaberg on Friday with landowners and small business operators to discuss the Paradise Dam Class Action.
The ray is easily recognized by its blue or black top dotted with white spots, white belly, and flat "duck bill" snout. 141-164 in: Last, P.R., White, W.T. Spotted eagle rays do not pose a significant threat to humans, as they are shy and generally avoid human contact. The spotted eagle ray was first described by Swedish botanist Although traditionally considered to have a circumglobal distribution in tropical oceans throughout the world, recent authorities have restricted the true The spotted eagle ray has many different common names, including white-spotted eagle ray, bonnet skate, bonnet ray, duckbill ray and spotted duck-billed ray.Spotted eagle rays have flat disk-shaped bodies, deep blue or black with white spots on top with a white underbelly, and distinctive flat snouts similar to a duck's bill.Mature spotted eagle rays can be up to 5 meters (16 ft) in length; the largest have a wingspan of up to 3 meters (10 ft) and a mass of 230 kilograms (507 lb).One male, or sometimes several, will pursue a female. Spotted eagle rays have a black top side with luminescent-looking white dots, manta rays can have a width of up to seven metres and you might even miss the golden rays as their sandy coloured topsides are fantastic camouflage against the sea floor.

ThoughtCo uses cookies to provide you with a great user experience. Weight usually varies between 400-500 pounds (181-227 kg). The IUCN categorizes the ocellated eagle ray as vulnerable, while the Pacific white-spotted eagle ray has not been evaluated for conservation status. Now the name only refers to the group that lives in the Atlantic, Caribbean, and Gulf of Mexico. & Pogonoski, J.J., eds. English language common names include spotted eagle ray, bishop ray, bonnet skate, duckbill ray, eagle ray, lady ray, leopard ray, mottled eagle ray, skate, spotted bonnetray, spotted duckbill ray, spotted stingray, spotted eagleray, spotted whipray, sunfish, whip, whip ray, and white-spotted eagle ray. The Spotted Eagle Ray is one of the largest eagle rays with a wing-span that can stretch over 3m! Usually, the ray is a solitary predator, but it sometimes swims in large groups. Their daily movement is influenced by the The dorsal spots make the spotted eagle ray an aquarium attraction, although because of its large size it is likely kept only at Spotted eagle rays, in common with many other rays, often fall victim to sharks such as the As traditionally defined, spotted eagle rays are found globally in tropical regions from the Within these regions, there are significant variations in In Europe there is a breeding program (ESB) for spotted eagle rays to reduce the amount of wild caught individuals needed by public aquaria. Binomial name: Aetobatus narinari, Bengt Anders Euphrasén, 1790 The spotted eagle ray (Aetobatus narinari) is a cartilaginous fish of the eagle ray family, Myliobatidae.
These beautiful rays are generally shy of humans. Natural predators include white tip, tiger, bull and hammerhead sharks. A spotted eagle ray's disk-shaped body can reach 5 meters (6 feet) in length, have a wingspan up to 3 meters (10 feet), and weigh 230 kilograms (507 pounds).Prior to 2010, the species included spotted eagle rays living in warm coastal waters around the globe. Pp. Dr. Helmenstine holds a Ph.D. in biomedical sciences and is a science writer, educator, and consultant. CSIRO Marine and Atmospheric Research Paper no. They range in size, but many species can be quite large. The spotted eagle ray (Aetobatus narinari) is a type of elasmobranch (Class Elasmobranchii), characterized by its cartilaginous skeleton.
Family Myliobatidae and Aetobatus narinari (Spotted eagle ray) and Aetomylaeus nichofii (Banded eagle ray) and Aetomylaeus maculatus (Mottled eagle ray) from FishBase: Technical fact sheets. Members of this family can be easily identified by their long tails and rhomboid-shaped bodies. Zootaxa 3860(2): 149–166. Spotted eagle rays can leap their entire bodies out of the water while swimming close to the surface. Spotted eagle rays have plate-like teeth used to crush their preferred prey, including clams, oysters, sea urchins and shrimp. Due to the poor quality of its flesh, the spotted eagle ray is rarely eaten. They usually have numerous white spots on black or bluish disc; with white below. However, on at least two occasions, leaping rays have landed in boats. Details of catches of this species throughout its range are scant. The IUCN categorizes the ocellated eagle ray as vulnerable, while the Pacific white-spotted eagle ray has not been evaluated for conservation status.From a global perspective, including all three species, threats to the spotted eagle ray include severe population fragmentation, unregulated overfishing,
