I hate those things.

 

holy..

 

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...

 

My lord!

 

Even cooler...fish with a fackin transparent head!

That ain't right.

 

they where smart and cut it off, you can tell in the last picture, they cut the point off.

 

ya i was going to post that to, watch the video

 

Steve Irwin just rolled over in his grave.

 

I think my eyes came out of my head.

 

WOW

 

I meant coming across one of these giants in the wild. That would royally suck.

 

No, they found it without the barb. But I don't understand the 440lbs variance in weight?

 

Meh, you just wipe it off and continue on your merry way.

 

My fuck there's some crazy shit swimming in our oceans

 

That's a huge stingray!

 

Oceans are Saltwater.

 

I didn't read the article.

Also, I didn't know stingrays lived in fresh water too

 

Neither did I, but they say freshwater. Hmm, that's a crazy mofo.

 

I heard the barb was 30-90cm long.

 

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.
