Another cool one
Gentle giant of the sea
From in the air to underwater, another video emerged that is a first glimpse of the giant smalleye stingray (http://search.yahoo.com/search?p=smalleye+stingray&toggle=1&cop=mss&ei=UTF-8&fr=buzz&cs=bz), the largest of its species and only seen alive off the coast of Mozambique. The cartilaginous fish (http://search.yahoo.com/search?p=cartilaginous+fish&toggle=1&cop=mss&ei=UTF-8&fr=buzz&cs=bz) are actually related to sharks. The one seen on the video, measuring about eight feet across, looks like a very slow-moving aqua--fish-spaceship, with fins jutting out from a hard shell ending in a long, pointy stinger that, trust us, you don't want to get anywhere near. (They say the thing is only used in self-defense, but who wants to test that theory?) From the safe distance of a video screen (http://news.bbc.co.uk/earth/hi/earth_news/newsid_8347000/8347298.stm), it sure does look cool.
