Flapping their pectoral fins to propel themselves through the water, rays are like the birds of the sea. These gentle giants can be found throughout all the oceans of the world, and they're likely to pay a visit to humans by hunting for their prey along sandy shorelines. In this book, you'll learn about four types of rays – stingrays, manta rays, skates, and sawfish. Closely related to sharks, these amazing and unique creatures are a vital part of the ocean's ecosystem. You'll learn about where you can go to interact with rays up close – they tend to love human visitors!
