            Zooplankton
Use their wings to make
 a cave for fish to
 come to safety but
 really getting trapped.

                           The ray uses its
                            electricity to defend
                            itself and uses it to
                            stun small prey.
   Biomedical Research
    ◦ A few fisheries catch rays
      for research.
    ◦ Investigating how
      electrical currents aide
      muscle function
   Still ok
    ◦ On a “Least Concern” list
      for possible extinction
    ◦ Exact population not
      known
