Round stingray
The round stingray is a small, common ray that lives close to shore along the Pacific coast of the Americas. It is best known on the beaches of southern California, where people are sometimes stung when they accidentally step on one. Its sting is painful but not fatal.1

Tsela ya go e lemoga
- Nearly round pectoral fin disc, usually brown or grey-brown above with pale yellow spots or reticulations (a net-like pattern)1
- Some individuals are plain or black1
- Underside is white to yellowish1
- Short, stout tail with a long, thick, serrated stinging spine1
Gantsi e tlhakanngwa le: The Cortez round stingray (Urobatis maculatus) looks very similar and is sometimes sold under the same aquarium names. The round stingray can be told apart because it lacks the black spots on either side of its disc that the Cortez round stingray has.1

Dintlha
The tail spine is shed and replaced regularly. For most of the year the ray has only one spine, but small secondary spines begin to appear in early July, and the replacement is complete by December.1
The species name honours a boy who was stung while wading in San Diego Bay.1
Females give off a weak electric field from near the spiracles behind each eye, which attracts males.1
Females can store sperm all year round.1
Their digging uncovers buried prey for smaller fish, which gives them an important role in the ecosystem.1
