Chokwadi
In shallow waters, birds follow the stingrays as they dig, eating the fish that the stingrays uncover.1
Its eyes and breathing openings sit on top of its head, so it can take in water while lying on the sea bed or buried in sand.1
It senses hidden prey through Ampullae of Lorenzini, which pick up the electric fields that prey give off.1
It is nocturnal, so most of its hunting happens at night.1
Female southern stingrays grow much larger than males.1
