I'm thinking this site may want to update their information...lol


Danger to Humans

Stingrays do not attack people, however if it is stepped on, the stingray will utilize its spine as a form of defense. Although being pierced by the stingray’s spine is painful, it is rarely life threatening to humans.



Just look for this picture in the link below...lol

Thanks for your concern. Not all 81 year olds in Florida are me. There are at least 3,000,000 others in naples alone.

I haven't met all of them. And if I did, I couldn't remember. So, maybe I have.

I didn't know sting rays could jump.

I thought they just floated around on the bottom and minded their own business.

I really do believe this is payback for the bad press the stingray community received from The B-52 song "Rock Lobster."

Freaky.
