We caught this electric stingray a couple of days ago

Yours truely didn’t know it was electric or it could zap you , I tried picking it up near eyes and got enough tingle in my fingers giving me a fright , letting it go really quickly lol once back in water it soon swam off .

Oh, my- that would be unsettling! Did it burn you? Good thing you got the shot first. Good catch- in more ways than one!

[Dawn]

@olivetreeann Hello there Ann no not at all just a little tingle if I’d also held on both side of eyes it could have been a bit more of a sap , as that is how they stun their prey .

[Kathy]

Yow! Please be careful in future nature studies.

[Dawn]

@randystreat Thanks Kathy I’ll certainly be more wary .
