Scientific Macro Shot of an embedded Kuhls Stingray's (Neotrygon kuhlii) eye

Summary[edit]

Description
English: A Kuhl’s stingray (Neotrygon kuhlii) Kuhl’s Maskray often to see embedded in the sand during the day such as on this Picture where only the eye is above the sand. One reason is to hide from predators and acting as an ambush hunter is the second reason.

The Kuhl’s stingray preys on many fish and small mollusks. Maximum disk width is estimated 46.5 cm (18.3 in).

Kuhl’s maskray is ovoviviparous. The embryos are retained in eggs within the mother’s body until they are ready to hatch. The embryos receive nourishment from the mothers’ uterine fluid. Mothers give birth to up to seven pups per litter; these pups range from 6 to 13 in (150 to 330 mm) long at birth.
