Bull Ray

The bull ray (Pteromylaeus bovinus) is similar to the eagle ray, but bigger. The most striking feature for identifying it is its tiger-striped coloring on the back. Its long, pointed pectoral fins separated into two lobes that helps to create their domed heads. It is more active than other rays, and also timider in the presence of divers. In general, you can see it swimming a few meters above the sea-bed. Bull rays are carnivores that feed on invertebrates, crabs, hermit crabs, and small squids.
