This Beautiful Stingray Has Bright Coloration To Deter Predators

This beautiful stingray has bright coloration to deter predators, letting them know it would be a dangerous fish to snack on. It has two venemous spines on its tail that it can flip up to defend itself if it gets cornered. Like many rays and sharks, they use electroreception - the ability to sense small electrical signals given off by other animals - to hunt their prey.
