Hey it's me again and this time I am going to talk about rays.  This is probably my most exciting blog because I really like rays and they are really cute.  I am going to compare and contrast rays to sharks.  Then I am going to describe what they look like.  Next I am going to describe their physical appearance.  

• Compare and contrast rays to sharks.
• Describe the ray's physical appearance.
• What do they eat and how do they get their food?
• How do rays defend themselves from predators?
• Other interesting characteristics of rays.
• I am going to teach you about a specific type of ray.
• Whats the difference between a skate and a ray? 

                                                          

                                                                 This is my favorite ray.  It's called the blue spotted stingray.Isn't it pretty.  I  like it.  Do you?  I am going to move on to the next on. ENJOY!!!!!!!

                                 COMPARE AND CONTRAST!!!!
First I am going to compare and contrast rays to sharks.  Like sharks rays have gills right , but rays have their gills on the on the bottom.  Sharks has their gills on the side.Sharks are alot diffrent comparing them to a ray.  If you think about it sharks are probably better hunters. Why because sharks are just built to hunt and rays are not they are built to sting things. I forgot one more thing .  If you think about this one to ray's and sharks skin feel the same.  They both feel like sandpaper.  Most rays camouflage into the sand.Sharks can't do that.  Or at least some sharks.  If sharks can do that that means they are the speacial kinds of sharks.  Now I going to move on to the next topic.  Hope you enjoy









                          PHYSICAL APPEARANCE !!!!!!!

Next I am going to talk about there physical appearance.  Ray's always are the fish that like to stand out.With their long tais and unique colors.  It just makes them stand out.  Did you know that rays tails can grow up to 10 feet long.Some ray's can be bigger than 4 people. I will show a picture in one minute.  Some rays mothe can be at the bottom or top.Their mouth is like that because sometime it's easier for them to get food.  The only down side to this is that they can'y see what they are eatig look at this video and picture for more.

 

                                                                

                     


                    HOW THEY  GET THEIR FOOD!!!!!

                 AND WHAT IT EATS!!!!!!!


They get their food by digging or waiting for the food.  Some rays are clever they just do what anybody would do.  Just go and get it.  Not wait for  it.  That makes you more hungray because it could take a fish days to  get past them.Don't worry they still are smart to move right. They eats crustaceans,small fish, and  mollusks.these thing are the most common of what they eat.They can't smell it so they use smell and electro receptors to find their food.  AWESOME RIGHT!!!!!

     HOW THEY DEFEND THEMSELVES!!!!!!!

Now I can move on to how they defend themselves.  They use their tail to sting  you.  That's why they are could the sting ray.   If they get frightened they will sting you and it's not funny at all it hurts so bad,but I am just guessing.  People can die if they get hurt like that.  Look at this picture. I feel bad for her/him.     They use their 10 foot long tail to zap you.  Then they
