Cowtail stingray
The cowtail stingray is a large ray that lives in warm coastal seas and sometimes swims up rivers. Its most noticeable feature is a wide, flag-like fold of skin on its tail. It has a venomous spine on its tail, so it should be left alone.1

Indlela yokusibona
- A large, flag-like fold of skin on the underside of the tail, which is especially prominent when the ray swims1
- Grey-brown to black on top and mostly white below1
- Black tail fold and tail tip1
- A thick, rounded pectoral disc with a blunt snout and very small, widely spaced eyes1
- A single venomous spine set well back on the tail1

Uma sihlaba
- Faka inxeba emanzini ashisayo, ashisa ngendlela umuntu angakwazi ukuyibekezelela ngaphandle kokusha (yihlole ngesandla sakho), imizuzu engama-30 kuya kwengama-90. Thola usizo lwezokwelapha, ikakhulukazi kuma-stonefish nama-stingray.
Njalo shayela kuqala inombolo yezimo eziphuthumayo (112, 000, 911). Lokhu kuyiseluleko sosizo lokuqala esijwayelekile, akusona iseluleko sezokwelapha. Izisekelo zosizo lokuqala
Hlala uphephile
- Ungalokothi uthinte, ubambe noma ugcone isilwane sasendle, ngisho noma sincane, futhi ngisho noma sibukeka silele noma sifile.
- Sinike isikhala. Uma uhlangana naso, hlala uzolile, uhlehle kancane bese usiyeka sihambe ngendlela yaso.
- Uma sikuhlaba: hlala uzolile, ungashukumi, shayela inombolo yezimo eziphuthumayo (112, 000, 911) noma uye esibhedlela ngokushesha. Khumbula ukuthi besibukeka kanjani, isithombe siyasiza.
Asikuzingeli wena. Sisebenzisa ubuthi baso ukuze sibambe ukudla noma ukuzivikela, futhi singancamela ukucasha. Okwengeziwe mayelana nokuhlala uphephile

Amaqiniso
A cowtail stingray was recorded in the Ganges River about 2,200 km (1,400 mi) from the sea.1
Resting groups of cowtail stingrays often form a rosette, with their tails pointing outward so they can see threats from every direction.1
Its large, regularly arranged skin bumps have made it a source of shagreen leather since ancient times.1
The cowtail stingray and reticulate whiprays often form mixed-species groups, probably because the whiprays detect predators well thanks to their long tails.1
Its tail fold and tail tip are black, and the tail carries sensors that act as a secondary warning system.1
Newborn cowtail stingrays have completely smooth skin, and their denticles develop quickly after birth.1
