Bull Rays [Myliobatis]
Description
Myliobatis is a genus of rays commonly known as bull rays, which are part of the eagle ray family. These rays are known for their robust body, wide pectoral fins that extend from their head, and a distinctively long, whip-like tail equipped with a venomous stinger. Bull rays are benthic feeders, consuming mollusks, crustaceans, and bony fish found on or near the ocean floor. They are found in temperate and tropical seas worldwide, often seen gliding majestically over sandy bottoms or seagrass beds.
