First Footage of Giant Stingray

Manta rays are one of the most intelligent creatures in the ocean and, at up to seven metres long, one of the largest. Yet despite their size and curious nature, almost nothing is known about their lives. LINK: Youtube

It is one of the rarest creatures of the ocean’s deep, and it has been caught on film for the first time ever. The species, smalleye stingray, is the largest of all stingray species, and is seen off the coast of Mozambique.

One Heck of a Giant Stingray

A stingray weighing close to 900 pounds? This 6.6-ft.-wide giant stingray was caught, measured and released in Thailand this week, part of a National Geographic scientific expedition to search for giant fish. It may well be the largest known freshwater fish in the world.

Freshwater giant stingrays are among the largest of the approximately 200 species of rays. They are found in just a few rivers in Southeast Asia and northern Australia.
