About
The southern stingray is a flat marine fish that reaches about 5 feet long.
Female southern stingrays grow significantly larger than males, often reaching twice their weight. While far smaller than giant manta rays, they are among the larger shallow-water rays in the western Atlantic Ocean. A large portion of their measured length comes from their thin, whip-like tail rather than the central disc alone.
From Wikipedia
The southern stingray is a whiptail stingray found in tropical and subtropical waters of the Western Atlantic Ocean from New Jersey to southern Brazil. It has a flat, diamond-shaped disc, with a mud brown, olive, and grey dorsal surface and white underbelly.
