The
eagle ray
is often
seen in
schools,
flapping
their modified
pectoral
fins when
they literally
fly through
the water.
The pointy
"wings"
and long
tail make
it easy
to recognise
them. Different
species
of eagleray
are seen
around
Julian
Rocks.
The
picture
on the
right shows
a younger
white spotted
eagle ray
feeding,
shuffling
with its
nose in
the hope
to find
some invertebrates
hiding
in the
sand.
