I have held and fed tame stingrays in the Bahamas. They even had names -- "Sugar Ray" and "Ray Charles." They were scary, but did not hurt anyone. Just wanted a handout.
Wingspread of maybe three or four feet. Barbed tails.
This was off shore of St John's Island where the cruise ship stopped.
I hope the critters don't get a bad rep because of this incident. Steve would have hated that.
