About Cownose Rays

A species of eagle ray, the cownose ray (Rhinoptera bonasus) is located throughout a large part of the western Atlantic ocean and the Caribbean. Males are nearly three feet across and can weigh as much as 36 pounds. Cownose rays feed primarily on invertebrates like clams and oysters. it has no teeth, using rigid dental plates to crush food sucked into its mouth. It's common for groups of cownose rays to travel together, using their flapping wings to stir up sediment and expose buried shellfish.

The spotted eagle ray can be found in coastal waters of most temperate and equatorial continents and around some island. I was fortunate enough to see one while snorkeling off the coast of Belize in February 2005. While sting rays tend to be shy of snorkelers and swimmers, people should be aware that their tail contains venom that is poisonous to humans. For more complete information and some interesting photos, see the Florida Museum of Natural History's web page on the spotted eagle ray. If you scroll down the page, you'll see one with ringed spots similar to the one in our gift shop.
