mother fucking stingray! the write up http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/2009/02/090226-giant-stringray-picture-missions.html
And getting stabbed with a normal sized Stingray's barb is bad enough. I'd hate to see what these things would do to you...
Even cooler...fish with a fackin transparent head! http://news.nationalgeographic.com/...transparent-head-barreleye-picture/index.html
that's crazy, but when you think about it. we've only explored 10% of our oceans. who knows what else is out there. this is what i want to do when i grow up
That's awesome. I've seen a manta ray that size before. I thought it was a massive truck tire at first.
I have a couple Tetra fish in my fishtank that are pretty transparent...you can see pretty much everything inside them. (not my actual fish in photos below...but mine are similar) I also have a "Bleeding Heart" Tetra that is kinda transparent - you can see its "heart" through its body (although I'm pretty sure that's not its real heart ).
550 to 990 pounds or 30 - 90 cm's? Ok, sorry, had to... just HAD to edit** Just realized Grant beat me to it
If I went swimming and I saw that thing beneath the waves, I would freak out. That would be the last time I would ever step in the sea/ocean I wonder they get this big because of the toxic waste in waters??? It is friday so I am allowed to be dumb.
