Round ribbontail ray
The round ribbontail ray is a large stingray that lives in warm, shallow seas across the Indo-Pacific, from South Africa to Japan and Australia. It can grow to 1.8 m across, and it is valued by divers for its size and striking look. It has a venomous tail spine, so it is one to admire from a distance.1
