Measuring up to 6ft 6in across, poisonous golden cow-nose rays migrate in groups  -  or 'fevers'  -  of up to 10,000 as they glide their way silently towards their summer feeding grounds.

I would love to see a human plopped in the middle of the herd, so we could get an idea of the average size. Yes, they can be up to 2 meters ... but wouldn't it be cool to see it for comparison? :D

P.S. Here's one from the front - way cool.



P.P.S. Take a ride in the tunnel of love! *would totally be all about that for Valentine's Day or some such*

Mmm, agreed.  BUT I GET TO CHOOSE THE HUMAN!

Seeing as Steve Irwin did it once, I say it's Terry Irwin's turn.

Question is, who is leading the stingray army. God that must be one bad ass stringray.

Great picture, Greenthorn!  Thanks! :)  He looks like he's asking for directions: "Excuse me, did you see about 10,000 rays pass by here?  Could you tell me which direction they were heading?  I'm really sorry -- I'm afraid that my alarm didn't go off this morning, so now I'm late..."

Don't say that too loudly, or we're liable to get a SCI FI Channel movie of the week about it by the middle of August!
