I love butterfly rays because half of the images of them online come in two varieties and it’s

a) a baybey!

Daily Ray Fact:

Native to the shallow coastal waters of the Atlantic Ocean, the Spiny Butterfly Ray is a large ray that can measure over 6 ft 7 in across, it may be distinguished from the smooth butterfly ray by the spine at the base of its tail and by a small tentacular structure on the margin of each spiracle.

Daily Ray Fact: (Featuring me!)

*No rays were harmed after this photo! Everything we caught was promptly released*

(Late today, oof) What I am holding is a Smooth Butterfly Ray (Very slippery)!! The jaws of this species of butterfly ray are pretty neat. The upper jaw generally has 60 to 120 teeth and lower jaw generally has 52 to 106 teeth, with each tooth having one short sharp conical cusp on a somewhat swollen base. Eight to nine rows of teeth function simultaneously. The upper dental plate occupies 70 to 75% of the width of the jaw and the lower dental plate occupies 60 to 65% of the width of the jaw.
