Description
Southern stingray is a bottom-dwelling species that waits for its prey hidden in the substrate. This nocturnal predator has several ways of exposing hidden prey such as spraying water or flapping its fins. In shallow waters, southern stingray has a symbiotic relationship with certain types of birds who feed on the fish that southern stingray exposes while foraging the substrate. It's a common sight in public aquariums.
