Caribbean Stingray

Caribbean Stingray

Good evening from the ABC islands!!  Over the past year many have requested a Stingray photo and by golly I found a few this week in my old stock of photos.  This is the Southern Stingray or also called the Caribbean Stingray and is the most common ray found in the Caribbean.  These were shot right in our own backyard at the Curacao Sea Aquarium in Animal Encounters.  Here you can pay to swim with the rays and other fish in a giant lagoon and feed them at the same time, it’s quite the adventure just ask our guests who have done it, right Nancy!!  I can still remember the look on our friend Bernard’s face when he went in with me for the first time.  Once they found out he had food it was every ray for himself and seconds later he was completely covered in rays, one was even resting on his head!  We do see these out diving on the reef but I think mostly they are laying in sand somewhere completely covered and we probably swim right over them. 
 
Aimee was off all day, I worked and it was busy again, it sure makes the day go by fast.  We are doing a little family adventure tomorrow morning to a new place that Aimee found today, I’ll send a photo.  I’m out, have a great evening, Barry
