These gentle creatures are known for their odd looks: they have flattened dorsal fins, disc-shaped bodies and eyes on top of their heads. These are adaptations, or changes in the species over time that have allowed them to survive in their environment. Some of the stingray's adaptations allow it to be a better predator, while others allow it to conserve energy and hide from predators. Stingrays may look like fish but they are actually related to sharks.

They also have good low-light vision. However, since stingrays can only see the areas above and around their bodies, they have developed good senses of touch and smell to find food. Their mouths are located on their undersides, allowing them to feed on creatures that live on the ocean floor.]]> 2019-03-21 02:27:00 UTC https://padlet.com/nealonthen/4bz8ow2n3tle/wish/343608176 nealonthen https://padlet.com/nealonthen/4bz8ow2n3tle/wish/343608458 Stingrays have other specialized senses to help them find food. They have a closed lateral line system on their dorsal surface that can detect the streams of water given off by oysters and other bivalves. They also have electroreception abilities. Every animal has an electrical energy field around it due to electrical activity or charges in its body. Stingrays can detect this electricity with their electrosense, making it a valuable adaptation for finding prey hidden in the sand.]]> 2019-03-21 02:28:45 UTC https://padlet.com/nealonthen/4bz8ow2n3tle/wish/343608458 edwinlau https://padlet.com/nealonthen/4bz8ow2n3tle/wish/343609392 2019-03-21 02:34:01 UTC https://padlet.com/nealonthen/4bz8ow2n3tle/wish/343609392 nealonthen https://padlet.com/nealonthen/4bz8ow2n3tle/wish/343609633 2019-03-21 02:35:31 UTC https://padlet.com/nealonthen/4bz8ow2n3tle/wish/343609633 edwinlau https://padlet.com/nealonthen/4bz8ow2n3tle/wish/343610226 2019-03-21 02:39:01 UTC https://padlet.com/nealonthen/4bz8ow2n3tle/wish/343610226 nealonthen https://padlet.com/nealonthen/4bz8ow2n3tle/wish/343611005 2019-03-21 02:43:58 UTC https://padlet.com/nealonthen/4bz8ow2n3tle/wish/343611005 edwinlau https://padlet.com/nealonthen/4bz8ow2n3tle/wish/343611286 2019-03-21 02:45:52 UTC https://padlet.com/nealonthen/4bz8ow2n3tle/wish/343611286 edwinlau https://padlet.com/nealonthen/4bz8ow2n3tle/wish/343611550 Stingrays are purely carnivorous and, like most carnivores, they like to eat animals smaller than themselves. In particular, they like to eat animals that live on or beneath the sand like worms, clams, oysters, snails and shrimp .
