Dont let stingrays put you off...

I have read loads of hype recently about stingrays since Steve Irwin's incident (R.I.P.)... I have also heard that on some hotels here in Dubai they sent out staff to kill any of the rays hanging out in the sand to avoid injury to the guests

Been going through some old pics today... see attached just to prove that stingrays will treat you the way you them them

Re: Dont let stingrays put you off...

Stingrays are not as bad as their reputation - a few weeks ago I saw some friendly ones in a public aquarium and I stroked one. (Probably not allowed, but...)

looool I like the idea.

I heard that the Indian fishermen likes this fish !!!!
it helps them allot when they are lonely in the sea.... when they catch one they put it in the sun for couple of hours to match the body temp. then he takes it and go one to one with it. it differently have a tight smooth hole.

CAN YOU IMAGINE!!!!

(I heard this story from an old fisherman who used to pearl hunt in the past)

Ps. Don't forget to cut the tail and remove the thorn, if you like the idea!!!
