Atlanta: Charles Bray took this picture of the Stingrays in which they are flat and allows them to hide in the depths of the sea. They ruffle up the sand and hide beneath it. Since their eyes are on top of their body and their mouths on the bottom, stingrays cannot see their prey. Instead, they use the sense of smell and electro-receptors, similar to those of the shark; they feed primarily on mollusks, Crustaceans, and occasionally on small fish. Their mouths contain powerful, shell-crushing suckers. Rays settle on the bottom while feeding, sometimes leaving only their eyes and tail visible.
