Stringrays

To sting or not to sting.

What is more harmful a man eating shark or fierce and deadly stingrays attack? The answer is both but for some strange reasons stingrays are on the rise. For surfer this can create a big problem as they can leap out of the water and can sting you to death. In 2005, beloved Crocodile Hunter Stephen Irwin was malt and killed to a watery grave from a stingray. Are they going to appear on the Jersey Shore like they did for California coast? In this article, we will discuss with a professional marine biologist Scott Casano, a famous marine biologist from Catania Italy who specializes in stingrays.

The summer is coming and surfing season beginning, surfers are anxious to hit the ocean and the last thing they need is a panic about stingrays. Stingrays are closing related to another predator in the water the shark. Stingrays are mostly found in the tropical and subtropical seas. The stingrays are covered with skin, and an integumentary sheath, where phenom is produced. The stingray has a tail which Is where it can sting ray leaving you badly paralyzed or on the verge of dyeing. Stingrays are common to leap out of waters and attack people (this is shown in the picture above). Are stingrays on the rises, should we be worried even more know that we have the Gulf of Mexico oil spill or is just a something that shouldn’t even be bothered with. We will talk with Casano about this and if he thinks it is something to be worried about or just shrug off his shoulders.

Scott Casano, grew up in the Southern Italy that specialized in marine life. He says “I grew up next to the ocean and I appreciate every marine animal”. He studied in Italy, and then came to the States to study the upcoming epidemic of stingrays in California. After days of research, Casano came up with the conclusion “No, according the data he collected at Venice Beach.”Due to popular believe, stingrays are not on the rise, just because we see one doesn’t mean they are on the rise.” Casano commeted on his discovery “the stingray we discovered at Venice beach is dangerous and some are fatal”.Casano said “Stingrays are harmful to everybody in marine life due to their barb tail which is used to sting people.” The marine biologist commented on their eating saying “Stingrays are bottom feeder and prey on crustacean, mollusks, and worms” which means they are found on the bottom of the ocean not on the surface. I posed the question, what are they on the rise.” He replied “Typically due to environment changes and they try to adapt. With summer coming up, surfers ask the question “We it harm beach life i.e surfing, family outings. The catanist said“Stingrays are more afraid of you then you are of them. If there is an unfortunate encounter it is just a case of bad luck”. He also stated that “Stingrays may tend to inhabit the more shallow waters where surfers would be; however, because they stay near the bottom, surfers probably would know they are there”. His final word on this is “Let the epidemic’ run it’s course, and treat them carefully and with the respect any animal deserves”.
In conclusion, stingrays are not on the rise.
