Bat ray
The bat ray is a flat, diamond-shaped fish related to sharks, with wing-like fins that it flaps to swim. It lives in shallow coastal waters from central Oregon in the USA down to the Gulf of California in Mexico, and around the Galápagos Islands. It has a venomous spine near the base of its tail, but it uses it only when it feels threatened.1

Jinsi ya kumtambua
- Diamond-shaped body, with wing-like pectoral fins that end in blunt points1
- Broad head raised higher than the fins, with eyes set on the sides of the head1
- Dark back, black or dark brown, with a white underside1

Akidunga
- Weka jeraha kwenye maji ya moto, moto kiasi ambacho mtu anaweza kuvumilia bila kuungua (pima kwanza kwa mkono wako), kwa dakika 30 hadi 90. Tafuta msaada wa kitabibu, hasa kwa samaki-jiwe na taa.
Daima piga namba ya dharura kwanza (112, 000, 911). Huu ni mwongozo wa jumla wa huduma ya kwanza, si ushauri wa kitabibu. Misingi ya huduma ya kwanza
Kaa salama
- Kamwe usimguse, kumkamata wala kumchokoza mnyama wa porini, hata akiwa mdogo, na hata akionekana amelala au amekufa.
- Mpe nafasi. Ukikutana naye, tulia, rudi nyuma polepole na umwache aende zake.
- Akikudunga: tulia, usitikisike, piga namba yako ya dharura (112, 000, 911) au nenda hospitali haraka. Kumbuka alivyoonekana, picha husaidia.
Hakuwindi wewe. Hutumia sumu yake kukamata chakula au kujilinda, na hupendelea zaidi kujificha. Zaidi kuhusu kukaa salama

Ukweli
Bat rays dig pits in the seabed that can be up to 4 m long, and small fish gather to eat the creatures the rays expose.1
The bat ray's young are born with the spine's sheath, which falls off within hours of birth.1
Bat rays can grow to a wingspan of 1.8 m, and the largest individuals weigh about 91 kg.1
Some bat rays live alone, while others form schools of thousands.1
Bat rays have teeth that are replaced continuously, as is the case with all elasmobranchs (sharks, rays and their relatives).1
Kuvunja dhana potofu
Dhana potofu: Bat rays are dangerous to people because of their venomous spine.
Ukweli: Bat rays are not considered dangerous. They use the spine only when attacked or frightened, and people can avoid it by shuffling their feet when walking through shallow sand.1
