Stingray Mouth
The stingray’s mouth is found on the belly side of its flat body, an ideal location for these bottom-loving animals to devour clams, mussels, oysters, worms, and other seafloor fare. The ray’s eyes are located topside, but are believed to be less important for finding food than electrical sensory organs surrounding the mouth. These organs, called ampullae of Lorenzini, pick up the electrical charges naturally emitted by prey.
