Description
Unlike other rays, the cownose ray rarely rests on the bottom but tends to swim near the surface, which minimizes the risk of a person stepping on it and being stung. The International Union for Conservation of Nature and Natural Resources (IUCN) has listed the cownose ray "near threatened," but population control measures are being considered in some areas as they are decimating local oyster populations.
