Short-tail stingray
The short-tail stingray is one of the largest stingrays in the world. It lives in temperate seas off southern Africa, southern Australia and New Zealand, mostly on or near the sea floor. It is not aggressive, but its long venomous sting can cause a serious wound if the ray is startled.1

Cara mengenalinya
- Diamond-shaped, heavy disc that is smooth, with no scales (dermal denticles) on the disc even in adults1
- Plain grey-brown back, darkening towards the tail and above the eyes, with a line of white pores on either side of the head1
- Whitish underside, darkening towards the edges of the fins1
- Tail usually shorter than the disc, thick at the base, with one or two serrated stinging spines about halfway along it1
- Adults have a row of large, spear-like thorns in front of the sting1
Sering tertukar dengan: The pitted stingray (Dasyatis matsubarai) of the northwestern Pacific looks similar but is smaller. Records of this species from northern Australia and Thailand are thought to be other rays that were misidentified.1
