Giant freshwater stingray
The giant freshwater stingray is a large ray that lives in big rivers and estuaries in Southeast Asia and Borneo. It is the widest freshwater fish in the world, and it is now endangered because of fishing and habitat loss. It has a long, whip-like tail with a sharp spine near the base.1

Indlela yokusibona
- Plain grayish brown on top, often with a yellowish or pinkish tint towards the fin edges1
- White underside with broad dark bands on the rear edges of the pectoral and pelvic fins1
- Thin, whip-like tail that is black behind the spine and has no fin folds1
- Sharply pointed snout that projects beyond the disc1
- A single serrated stinging spine on the upper tail near its base, up to 38 cm long1
Ivamise ukudidaniswa ne: Similar freshwater stingrays in South Asia, Southeast Asia and Australasia were once tentatively grouped with this species. Some of them, such as the Australian Urogymnus dalyensis, are now described as separate species.1
Amandla obuthi
Ubuthi buphuma ngodosi.
Ubuthi baso benzani?
Its sting is sheathed in toxic mucus. The sting is capable of piercing bone.1
Siyingozi kangakanani ebantwini?
Ingozi ebantwini: Kubi kakhuluUkuhlatshwa kudinga udokotela. Ukufa kuyivelakancane kakhulu.The giant freshwater stingray is not aggressive. Its sting is strong enough to pierce bone and is coated in toxic mucus, so it should be treated with care.1
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
Sikhulu kangakanani?

Yizibalo nje kusiphequluli sakho. Akukho okulondolozwayo noma okuthunyelwa ndawo.
Sishesha kangakanani?
Amaqiniso
In June 2022, a specimen caught in the Mekong River was reported as the largest strict freshwater fish ever documented, at about 300 kg.1
It is the widest freshwater fish in the world, growing up to 2.2 m across.1
Its tail spine is up to 38 cm long, the largest of any stingray species.1
Pups are nourished in the womb by a milk-like substance called histotroph, or 'uterine milk', made by the mother.1
In Cambodia, the average weight of a landed ray fell from 23.2 kg in 1980 to 6.9 kg in 2006.1
