Aetobatus [Aetobatus]
Description
Aetobatus rays—often recognized by their broad, eagle-like wings—can be seen cruising over sandy flats and along reef edges. Divers may watch them glide with a smooth, powerful motion, sometimes pausing to forage, while their patterned bodies and long, graceful tails make them unforgettable to observe.
