Today's Wildlife Picture-The Spotted Eagle Ray

Spotted Eagle Rays on the sea floor. They can reach
widths of nearly 11 feet/over 3 m. The spotted eagle ray
is one of the largest eagle rays, with only the mantas
growing bigger. Like all eagle rays, spotted eagle rays
are active swimmers. They do not lie motionless
on the seafloor, unlike the closely related whiptail stingrays
(e.g. the southern stingray). Spotted eagle rays are
 foraging predators, known to eat a variety of invertebrate
and fish prey. Just like the name implies, the spotted eagle ray
 is covered in spots and other markings, and white underneath.
It cannot be mistaken any other species throughout its range.
