The Cownose Ray

Cownose Ray

A cownose ray shows off its good side in an exhibit tank at Orlando’s SeaWorld park. The species takes its name from the shape of its rostrum, where the pectoral fins split into two lobes separated by a center crease—creating a feature rather like a bovine nose. Though ocean waters are their primary habitat, these rays adapt well to captivity and, in the wild, can deal with the shifting salinities of estuary and wetland waters.
