Stingrays. Stingrays are a family of cartilaginous fish containing nine genera and about 70 species. They can be found in all tropical and sub-tropical seas, and there is also a freshwater-only sub-family-the river rays. A flattened body shape and disc-shaped pectoral fins help stingrays live and hide in sand and mud underwater. The famous barbed stinger on the tail is only used in self-defence, often when they are stepped on in shallow waters.
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. Stingray injuries are caused by the venomous tail spines or stingers of rays in the order Myliobatiformes, most significantly those belonging to the families Dasyatidae, Urotrygonidae, Urolophidae, and Potamotrygonidae. Stingrays generally do not attack aggressively or even actively defend themselves.
