The tour guide lifts the stingray from the water and you can clearly see:

• the eyes on the dorsal side
• the mouth and nostrils on its underbelly
• the tail and barbs – primarily used for protection

The Southern Atlantic Stingray is the species found at Stingray City.

The Green Moray Eel (Gymnothorax funebris) is actually brown. Protective yellow mucus covering its body, combined with its brown body, gives it a green colour.

Morays have a reputation as vicious creatures, but will actually only attack humans to defend themselves.

The Green Moray Eel is carnivorous and feeds on other fish, molluscs, and crustaceans. It is a sedentary predator and will normally wait for food, rather than hunt (although at Stingray City, the Green Moral Eel may seek out divers with food).

The divers kneel in a circle just 12 ft below the surface. The Southern Atlantic Stingrays are instantly attracted by the squid the divers are carrying.

Nevertheless it’s still great fun.
